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).

How is the lifetime of a star related to its mass?
Flauer [41]
Stars having less mass collapses early than those with more mass. This can be explained by Einstein's equation E=mc².
According to this equation, mass of stars is converted into light due to thermonuclear reactions occuring in the core of star which acts as engine of the stars. This thermonuclear reactions keeps star alive. Thermonuclear reactions occurs slowly in massive stars hence massive stars live more than light stars.

What does an electromagnet do?
butalik [34]
An electromagnet is a device that sends electricity through a coil of wire to produce a magnetic field. This leads to a magnet that can be controlled - turned on and off with the flip of a switch, or increased or decreased in strength. The coils are often wrapped around a regular magnet to make it stronger.
