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).

FrozenT [24]

Everything that Julia said is correct EXCEPT the words
"the Oxygen and Hydrogen separate".  They do not. 

The "particles" that she mentioned are water molecules,
each one composed of two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen
atom bonded together.  THOSE are the particles that shift to be
farther apart, but the Hydrogen and Oxygen in each one remain
bonded together.

Julia gets 30 ounces of merit badges, out of a possible quart.

Determine a valid way of finding the wire’s diameter if you know the resistivity of the material, \rho , and can measure the cur
olganol [36]

Answer:

To find the diameter of the wire, when the following are given:

Resistivity of the material (Rho), Current flowing in the conductor, I, Potential difference across the conductor ends, V, and length of the wire/conductor, L.

Using the ohm's law,

Resistance R = (rho*L)/A

R = V/I.

Crossectional area of the wire A = π*square of radius

Radius = sqrt(A/π)

Diameter = Radius/2 = [sqrt(A/π)]

Making A the subject of the formular

A = (rho* L* I)V.

From the result of A, Diameter can be determined using

Diameter = [sqrt(A/π)]/2. π is a constant with the value 22/7

Explanation:

Error and uncertainty can be measured varying the value of the parameters used and calculating different values of the diameters. Compare the values using standard deviation

The air in a 22C room contains water at a partial pressure of 14 mm Hg. What is the relative humidity?
Naily [24]

Answer:

70.35%

Explanation:

The relative humidity is a percentage and is the ratio between the partial pressure of water and the vapor pressure of water times 100% The partial pressure gives you an idea of the amount of water in the air whereas the vapor pressure is related with the maximum amount of water that can be in the air for a given temperature.

Vp(h2o) -> Vapor pressure of water

p(h2o) -> Partial pressure of water

RH -> Relative humidity

Vp(h20) at 22°C = e^(20.386 - (5132 / (temperature + 273)) = 19.9 Torr

(1 Torr == 1 mm Hg)

RH = p(h2o)/Vp(h2o)*100% = (14/19.9)*100% = 70.35%

Note: The formula used to find the vapor pressure of water is an approximation, to get a better value you could use a table to determine the vapor pressure of water at a certain temperature. Remember that Vp(h2o) is a constant for a given temperature.
