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 :))

The _____ inside the stratosphere blocks ultraviolet radiation. apex
podryga [215]
The ozone layer that is inside the stratosphere blocks UV radiation.

The ozone layer contains high concentrations of ozone relative to other parts of the atmosphere. This was discovered by Charles Fabry and Henri Buisson who are both French Physicists. 

The ozone in the earth's stratosphere is created through ultraviolet light striking a group of ordinary oxygen molecules containing two oxygen atoms, subsequently splitting them into individual oxygen atoms and finally these said atomic oxygen then combines with unbroken O2 to create ozone (O3).

Acceleration question plz help
andrezito [222]
For #5 It's helpful to draw a free body diagram so you know which way the forces are acting on the block.

the weight mg is acting downwards, and you need to find the vertical and horizontal components of mg using sin and cosine. so do 15x9.8xsin40 which is the force. Assuming no friction, this is the only force acting on the block, as the forces on the vertical plane cancel out i.e the normal force and weight of the block.

after, just do F=ma And since you know F and m, solve for a.

Si la aceleración de gravedad en la superficie del planeta Mercurio es de 3,7 m/s2, entonces ¿cuál sería el peso de una persona
erica [24]

Answer:

W = 222 N.

Explanation:

The qiestion says" If the acceleration of gravity on the surface of the planet Mercury is 3.7 m / s2, then what would be the weight of a person with mass 60 kg on its surface? "

Mass of the person, m = 60 kg

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of gravity is 3.7 m/s²

We need to find the weight of a person on the surface of Mercury.

Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

So,

W = 60 kg × 3.7 m/s²

W = 222 N

Hence, the person will weigh 2222 N on the surface of Moon.
