Refraction. When light is distorted when going through a substance like water, it is being refracted.

The answer to the question is Refraction.

EXPLANATION:

The spoon half dipped inside the water is appeared to be bent. This is due to the optical phenomenon called refraction.

Refraction is the property of light by virtue of which light ray bends away or towards the normal at the point of incidence when it incidents obliquely at the refracting surface.

In the given figure, light rays are coming from air which is optically rarer medium as compared to water. So, the ray, after striking the air-water interface, gets bent towards the normal in the optically denser medium i.e water. It is so because the velocity of light in optically denser medium is less as compared to rarer medium.

We view the object due to the light. As light rays are bent, so the spoon is appeared to be bent.

im no scientist but im pretty sure cool stars are warm colors and hot stars are cool colors, so red would be more cooler than blue.

A girl (mass M) standing on the edge of a frictionless merry-go-round (radius R, rotational inertia I) that is not moving. She t

a) $\omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2}$

b) $v=\frac{-mvR^2}{I+MR^2}$

Explanation:

a)

Since there are no external torques acting on the system, the total angular momentum must remain constant.

At the beginning, the merry-go-round and the girl are at rest, so the initial angular momentum is zero:

$L_1=0$

Later, after the girl throws the rock, the angular momentum will be:

$L_2=(I_M+I_g)\omega +L_r$

where:

$I$ is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round

$I_g=MR^2$ is the moment of inertia of the girl, where

M is the mass of the girl

R is the distance of the girl from the axis of rotation

$\omega$ is the angular speed of the merry-go-round and the girl

$L_r=mvR$ is the angular momentum of the rock, where

m is the mass of the rock

v is its velocity

Since the total angular momentum is conserved,

$L_1=L_2$

So we find:

$0=(I+I_g)\omega +mvR\\\omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2}$

And the negative sign indicates that the disk rotates in the direction opposite to the motion of the rock.

b)

The linear speed of a body in rotational motion is given by

$v=\omega r$

where

$\omega$ is the angular speed

r is the distance of the body from the axis of rotation

In this problem, for the girl, we have:

$\omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2}$ is the angular speed

$r=R$ is the distance of the girl from the axis of rotation

Therefore, her linear speed is:

$v=\omega R=\frac{-mvR^2}{I+MR^2}$
