In a circuit, the electromotive force can be said to be the "source" of the "pushed electrons". This push then creates what is known as a current, which is the flow of electric charge through the circuit. This flow can be slowed down or restricted by a resistor, and this is also what can be harnessed in order to use electric power.
Explanation:
The electromotive force is the potential difference produced by the battery in the circuit. When the circuit is connected to the battery, this potential difference causes the electron to start moving towards the point at higher potential: in this sense, the electromotive force is said to be the "source" of the "pushed electrons".
This flow of electrons moving in the circuit is known as current.
Then, in the circuit, it is possible to place a piece of circuit with a smaller cross-section that restricts the flow of electrons: this component is known as resistor, and its property of restricting the flow of electron is known as resistance.
In a circuit, electromotive force (V), current (I) and resistance (R) are related by Ohm's law:
Finally, when a current passes through a resistor, part of the electric energy is converted into thermal energy, and some power is dissipated through the resistor. The power dissipated is given by
This power can be harnessed, for instance, if the resistor is connected to a light bulb: the energy is transformed into heat and light, and so the light bulb turns on, providing illumination.

<h2>Answers:</h2>
The speed of a wave is given by:
(1)
Where is the frequency and
the wavelength.
In the case of light, its speed is:
(2)
On the other hand, the described situation is known as Refraction, a phenomenon in which the light changes its direction when passing through a medium with a refractive index different from the other medium.
In this context, the Refractive index is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material, and is defined as the relation between the speed of light in vacuum (
) and the speed of light
in the second medium:
(3)
In addition, as the light changes its direction, its wavelength changes as well:
(4)
Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:
<h2>a) Frequency</h2>From equation (2) we can find :
(5)
Knowing that :
(6) >>>Frequency of the helium-neon laser light
We already know the wavelength of the light in air and the index of refraction of the glass.
So, we only have to find the wavelength in glass from equation (4):
(7) >>>Wavelength of the helium-neon laser light in glass
From equation (3) we can find the speed of this light in glass:
(8) >>>Speed of the helium-neon laser light in glass
The bigger the object the greater the gravitational pull, so the farther away the big object is its gravitational force begins to decrease. Refer to the picture for more explanation.
