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 :))

How is the independent variable affected by the dependent variable
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

A dependent variable is a variable that is tested in an experiment. An independent variable is that can be modified. Depending on what you are testing, the dependent variable will change accordingly to the dependent variable.

Two rigid tanks of equal size and shape are filled with different gases. The tank on the left contains oxygen, and the tank on t
fredd [130]

Answer:

The number of oxygen molecules in the left container greater than the number of hydrogen molecules in the right container.

Explanation:

Given:

Molar mass of oxygen, M_O=32

Molar mass of hydrogen, M_H=2

We know ideal gas law as:

PV=nRT

where:

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume of the gas

n= no. of moles of the gas molecules

R = universal gs constant

T = temperature of the gas

∵n=\frac{m}{M}

where:

m = mass of gas in grams

M = molecular mass of the gas

∴Eq. (1) can be written as:

PV=\frac{m}{M}.RT

P=\frac{m}{V}.\frac{RT}{M}

        as: \frac{m}{V}=\rho\ (\rm density)

So,

P=\rho.\frac{RT}{M}

Now, according to given we have T,P,R same for both the gases.

P_O=P_H

\rho_O.\frac{RT}{M_O}=\rho_H.\frac{RT}{M_H}

\Rightarrow \frac{\rho_O}{32}=\frac{\rho_H}{2}

\rho_O=16\rho_H

∴The molecules of oxygen are more densely packed than the molecules of hydrogen in the same volume at the same temperature and pressure. So, <em>the number of oxygen molecules in the left container greater than the number of hydrogen molecules in the right container.</em>

The two waves shown below pass through the same medium in the phases shown and interfere with each other.
ale4655 [162]

A. W

Explanation:

The wave that would be produced by the interaction of the two waves shown in the diagram is wave W.

There is no wave in the diagram W.

This type of interference is known as destructive interference.

  • Destructive interference occurs when two waves out of phase comes together.
  • In this way, they cancel out each other and are terminated.
  • If the two waves are in phase, they will reinforce one another.
  • When waves reinforce one another, a constructive interference has occurred.

The atomic number of a nucleus decreases during which nuclear reactions?
Goryan [66]
A related type of beta decay actually decreases the atomic number of the nucleus when a proton becomes a neutron. Due to charge conservation, this type of beta decay involves the release of a charged particle called a “positron” that looks and acts like an electron but has a positive charge.
