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 :))

Jupiter's semimajor axis is 7.78×1011 m. The mass of the Sun is 1.99×1030 kg. (a) What is the period of Jupiter's orbit in secon
dedylja [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Semi major axis of the Jupiter, a=7.78\times 10^{11}\ m

Mass of the sun, M=1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg

(a) Let T is the period of Jupiter's orbit. It is given by :

T^2\propto a^3

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}\times (7.78\times 10^{11})^3

T=3.74\times 10^8\ s

(b) We know that,

1\ year=3.154\times 10^7\ s

or

1\ s=3.171\times 10^{-8}\ year

3.74\times 10^8\ s={3.171\times 10^{-8}}\times {3.74\times 10^8}

T = 11.859 earth years

Hence, this is the required solution.

A solenoidal coil with 26 turns of wire is wound tightly around another coil with 350 turns. The inner solenoid is 20.0 cm long
noname [10]

Answer:

Part a)

\phi = 2.76 \times 10^{-7} T m^2

Part B)

M = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} H

Part C)

EMF = 0.1 V/s

Explanation:

Part a)

Magnetic field due to a long ideal solenoid is given by

B = \mu_0 n i

n = number of turns per unit length

n = \frac{N}{L}

n = \frac{350}{0.20}

n = 1750 turn/m

now we know that magnetic field due to solenoid is

B = (4\pi \times 10^{-7})(1750)(0.100)

B = 2.2 \times 10^{-4} T

Now magnetic flux due to this magnetic field is given by

\phi = B.A

\phi = (2.2 \times 10^{-4})(\pi r^2)

\phi = (2.2 \times 10^{-4})(\pi(0.02)^2)

\phi = 2.76 \times 10^{-7} T m^2

Part B)

Now for mutual inductance we know that

\phi_{total} = M i

\phi_{total} = N\phi

\phi_{total} = 20(2.76 \times 10^{-4})

\phi_{total} = 5.52 \times 10^{-6}

now we have

M = \frac{5.52 \times 10^{-6}}{0.100}

M = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} H

Part C)

As we know that induced EMF is given as

EMF = M \frac{di}{dt}

EMF = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} (1800)

EMF = 0.1 V/s

A steel cable has a cross-sectional area 2.54 10-3 m2 and is kept under a tension of 1.01 104 N. The density of steel is 7860 kg
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The speed is equals to 22.49 m/s

Explanation:

Given Data:

Area = A=2.54*10^-^3m^2\\Force = F = 1.01*10^4N\\density = p = 7860 kg/m^3

Required:

Speed of Traverse wave = c =?

Solution:

As we know that

p=m/V\\\\ p=m/(L*A)\\p*A=m/L

Now the equation for speed of traverse wave is calculated through:

\sqrt \frac{F*L}{m}\\

=\sqrt\frac{F}{m/L} \\\sqrt{} \frac{F}{p*A}

Substituting the values

\sqrt\frac{1.01*10^4}{7860*2.54*10^-^3}  \\

=22.49 m/s

The force generated by a single muscle fiber can be increased by increasing is called
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The force generated by a single muscle fiber can be increased by increasing the frequency of action potentials

Explanation:

The force generated by a muscle fiber is the result of the shortening of the skeletal muscle, and this force is also know as muscle tension. The larger motor units shorten along with the smaller units to produce the muscle force. The time lapsed between the beginning of the action potential in the muscle and the beginning of the contraction is the latent period. Action potential is the result of the difference electrical potential as a result of passage of an impulse along the membrane of a muscle or nerve cell.
