What causes light to bend when it moves from one transport medium to another

Physics
1 answer:
faltersainse [42]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The bending of light as it passes from one medium to another is called refraction. The angle and wavelength at which the light enters a substance and the density of that substance determine how much the light is refracted. The bending occurs because light travels more slowly in a denser medium.

hope this helped :))

A bird flies west with a velocity of 8 m/s . How long does it take the bird to travel a horizontal distance of 400 meters ?
Ahat [919]

The time taken is 50 s

Explanation:

For a body moving in uniform motion (= at constant velocity), the velocity of the body is given by:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

v is the velocity

d is the distance covered

t is the time taken

In this problem, we have a bird travelling with uniform motion. We know that:

v = 8 m/s is the velocity of the bird

d = 400 m is the distance travelled

Solving for t, we find the time the bird needs to cover this distance:

t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{400}{8}=50 s

How can solar energy be used to produce electricity
Neko [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electricity is generated from solar energy predominantly by the use of photovoltaic cells.

The sun is the ultimate source of energy for all life and the bulk of the solar system at large.

Energy from the sun is used for various life processes and other abiotic uses.

In order to harness the sun's energy to produce electricity, a photovoltaic cell is required. These cells are often used in making solar panels which are available in most places today.

Electricity is produced by the movement of electrons within a cell or a body. In a photovolatic cell, the radiation from the sun causes chemical reactions to occur on the surface of these materials. The reaction is such in which electrons are produced. The movement of electrons in these cells results in the generation of electricity.

In some other cases, sunlight can be concentrated for heating water to produce steam. Steam can be used to drive turbines to produce electricity too.

The moon's illumination changes in a periodic way that can be modeled by a trigonometric function. On the night of a full moon,
kupik [55]

Answer:

L(t) = 0.125 (cos (\frac{\pi}{14.765}(t+7)) + 0.125

Explanation:

The expression for the  trigonometric function is :

L(t) = A (cos (B(t - C)))+ D   ----- equation (1)

where ;

A = \frac{max-min}{2}

A = \frac{0.25-0}{2}

A = 0.125

D = \frac{0+.025}{2}

D = 0.125

Period of the lunar cycle = 29.53

Then;

\frac{2 \pi}{B}  = 29.53

29.53 \ \ B = 2 \pi

B = \frac{2 \pi}{29.53}

B = \frac{\pi}{29.53}

Also; we known that December 25 is 7 days before January 1.

Then L(-7) = 0.025

Plugging all the values into trigonometric function ; we have:

0.125 ( cos ( \frac{\pi}{14.765}((-7)-C)))+0.125 = 0.25 \\ \\ \\  ( cos ( \frac{\pi}{14.765}((-7)-C))) = \frac{0.25-0.125}{0.125}

( cos ( \frac{\pi}{14.765}((-7)-C))) = 1

( \frac{\pi}{14.765}((-7)-C))= cos^{-1} (1)

}((-7)-C))=0

C= -7

L(t) = 0.125 (cos (\frac{\pi}{14.765}(t-(-7))) + 0.125

L(t) = 0.125 (cos (\frac{\pi}{14.765}(t+7)) + 0.125

On the graph of voltage versus current, which line represents a 2.0 Ω resistor?​
Vikki [24]

Answer:

<h2>line B</h2>

Explanation:

According to ohm's law V = IR where;

V i sthe supply voltage (in volts)

I = supply current (in amperes)

R = resistance (in ohms)

In order to calculate the line that is equal to 2ohms, we need to calculate the slope of each line using the formula.

For line B, R = ΔV/ΔI

R = V₂-V₁/I₂-I₁

R = 14.0-4.0/7.0-2.0

R = 10.0/5.0

R = 2.0ohms

Since the slope of line B is equal to 2 ohms, this shows that the line B is the one that represents the 2ohms resistor.
