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).

A screw incorporates which other simple machine?
Radda [10]

Answer:

Inclined plane.

Explanation:

Geometrically, a screw is a narrow inclined plane that is wrapped around a cylinder. Like the other simple machines a screw can amplify force; a small rotational force (torque) on the shaft can exert a large axial force on a load.

A screw is a cylinder with a head (solid top) at one end and a pointed tip (like a nail) at the other end.

The mechanical advantage of the screw depends on the space between the threads and the length (and thickness) of the screw. The closer the threads are, the greater the mechanical advantage. It is easier to drive a screw into an object if the thread spacing is smaller.

What happens to the atomic number of an atom when the number of neutrons in the nucleus of that atom increases? a It decreases b
kupik [55]

Answer:

It remains the same

Explanation:

It remains the same. This is because the number of protons doesn't change and the number of protons determines the atomic number.

An object with a mass of 5.0 kg accelerates 8.0 m/s² when an uknown force is applied to it. what is the amount of the force?​
Harman [31]
  • Mass=5kg
  • Acceleration=8m/s^2

Using newtons second law

\\ \sf\longmapsto Force=Mass\times Acceleration

\\ \sf\longmapsto Force=5(8)

\\ \sf\longmapsto Force=40N

An image of a car with height of 14 cm occurred in the mirror which is located at a T-
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The distance of car form the mirror is 330 cm.

Explanation:

height of object, h = 140 cm

height of image, h' = 14 cm

radius of curvature, R = 60 cm

focal length, f = R/2 = + 30 cm

Let the distance of image is v and the distance of object is u.

\frac{h'}{h}\frac{v}{u}\\\\\frac{14}{140} =\frac{v}{u}\\\\v =\frac{u}{10}

Use the formula of focal length

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}\\\\\frac{1}{30}=\frac{10}{u}+\frac{1}{u}\\\\\frac{1}{30}=\frac{11}{u}\\\\u = 330 cm
