What happens to light that strikes a piece of glass

Physics
1 answer:
Leya [2.2K]3 years ago
6 0
If a ray of light hits the surface of a sheet of glass, some light will be reflected by the surface of the glass. However, much of the light will pass through the glass, because glass is transparent. ... This 'bending of a ray of light' when it passes from one substance into another substance is called refraction.

A truck is traveling east at 80 km/h. At an intersection 32 km ahead, a car is traveling north at 50 km/h. How long after this m
nirvana33 [79]

The time elapsed when the vehicles are closest to each other is 20 min.

The given parameters:

  • Speed of the truck, u = 80 km/h
  • Distance, d = 32 km
  • Speed of the car, v = 50 km/h

<h3>Principles of relative speed</h3>

The time elapsed when the cars are close to each other is calculated by applying the principles of relative speed.

(V_r) t = d\\\\V_r^2 = 50^2 + 80^2\\\\V_r =\sqrt{50^2 + 80^2} \\\\V_r = 94.34 \ km/h

94.34 t = 32\\\\t = \frac{32}{94.34} \\\\t = 0.34 \ hr\\\\t \approx 20 \min

Thus, the time elapsed when the vehicles are closest to each other is 20 min.

What is a wave? Use the terms wavelength and frequency in your definition.
adelina 88 [10]

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance in a medium. For example, when some pebbles are thrown in water, the water particles gets disturbed. A wave is characterized by the following parameters i.e.

Frequency

Wavelength etc

The number of oscillations or vibrations in a medium is called the frequency of a wave.

Also, the distance between two consecutive crests and troughs is called the wavelength of a wave. The relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of a wave is given by :

Speed of wave = frequency × wavelength
