When you look vertically downwards into a swimming pool full of water the bottom of the pool seems closer to you than it really is. The apparent depth at this point can be worked out using the formula:

Apparent depth = Real depth/Refractive index of water

However as you look towards the end of the pool the bottom seems to curve upwards – we are thinking about a pool of constant depth to start with.


If the depth of the pool really does change then the situation becomes more complex and you would need to allow for that when drawing the diagram

The physical model of the sun’s interior has been confirmed by observations of
Inga [223]

The physical model of the sun's interior has been confirmed by observations of neutrino and seismic vibrations.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Sun's interior is composed of very high temperature and solar flares. So it is very difficult to understand the interior of the sun. But by using the vibrations of neutrino and seismic waves emitted by the solar waves, the physical model can be assumed.

As the interior of the sun performs continuous chain of hydrogen cycle. So the continuous emission of energy from the chain reaction releases neutrino. So these vibrations in neutrino and seismic vibrations, the physical model can be assumed easily.

A radio signal has a frequency of 1.023 x 108 HZ. If the speed of the signal in air is 2.997 x 108m/s, what is the wavelength of
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

2.93 m  (which agrees with answer "C" on the list)

Explanation:

Recall that the speed of the wave equals the product of the wave's length times its frequency. Therefore, the wavelength is going to be the quotient of the speed of the signal divided its frequency:

Wavelength = 2.997  10^8 / 1.023  10^8 =  2.93 m
