Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Refraction is defined as the process by which a wave changes its direction of propagation and bends towards the normal when moves from a rarer medium to a denser medium. The light after entering the new medium bends towards the normal. This process takes place due to the change in the wave speed and also due to the change in its wavelength.

As the waves enter a denser medium (such as glass) from the rarer medium (such as air), the wave speed decreases and so its wavelength also decreases. The speed and wavelength here are directly proportional to each other. It is because there are more particles in the denser medium that obstructs the direction of wave propagation.

Thus, the correct answer is an option (D).

crimeas [40]

Answer:

(a) 0.3778 eV

(b) Ratio = 0.0278

Explanation:

The Bohr's formula for the calculation of the energy of the electron in nth orbit is:

$E=\frac {-13.6}{n^2}\ eV$

(a) The energy of the electron in n= 6 excited state is:

$E=\frac {-13.6}{6^2}\ eV$

$E=-0.3778\ eV$

Ionisation energy is the amount of this energy required to remove the electron. Thus, |E| = 0.3778 eV

(b) For first orbit energy is:

$E=\frac {-13.6}{1^2}\ eV$

$E=-13.6\ eV$

$Ratio=\frac {E_6}{E_1}$

$Ratio=\frac {-0.3778}{-13.6}$

Ratio = 0.0278

Explanation:

According to Bernoulli's principle at any two points along a streamline flow The total energy that is sum of pressure energy , Kinetic energy and potential energy of the liquid all taken in per unit volume remains constant. Therefore,

for ideal fluid flows through a pipe of variable cross section without any friction. The fluid completely fills the pipe. At any given point in the pipe, the fluid has a constant Total Energy.
