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.

kolezko [41]

Answer:

The time that will pass between the feeling and hearing the explosion is 2,86 secs

Explanation:

First, let's calculate the time that the wave takes to travel until the actors feel the explosion:

$1,1 km*\frac{1.000 mts}{1 km} *\frac{sec}{3.000 mts} = 0,37 secs$

Now, the time that pass while the actors hear the sound is:

<em>(Remember that the sound speed in the air is 340 m/s on average)</em>

$1,1 km * \frac{1.000 mts}{1 km} * \frac{sec}{340 mts} = 3,23 secs$

So, the time between the feeling and hearing is 3,23 - 0,37 = 2,86 secs

Use the conservation of angular momentum; angular momentum at the beginning = angular momentum at the end
Conservation of angular momentum:
I1 w1 = I2 w2
Where I is the moment of inertia. For a sphere, I=2/5 m R^2. Substituting into the equation above we get
w2 = I1 w1 / I2 = w1 m1 R1^2 / (m2 R2^2)
w2 = w1 4 * (R1/R2)^2
= 4*(1)*(7E5/7.5)^2
= 3.48E10 revs/(17days)
= 2.04705882 x 10^9 revs/sec
