Explanation:

To do this, one uses a conversion factor. In mathematics, specifically algebra, a conversion factor is used to convert a measured quantity to a different unit of measure without changing the relative amount. To accomplish this, a ratio ( fraction ) is established that equals one (1).

How is the direction of light changed when it travels from an optically denser medium to an optically rarer medium????? please a

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The light bends away from the normal

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Snell's law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where:

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the first medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the second medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (angle between the incoming ray and the normal to the interface)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (angle between the outcoming ray and the normal to the interface)

We can rearrange the equation as

$sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$

In this problem, light travels from an optically denser medium to an optically rarer medium, so

$n_1 > n_2$

Therefore, the term $\frac{n_1}{n_2}$ is greater than 1, so

$sin \theta_2 > sin \theta_1\\\rightarrow \theta_2 > \theta_1$

which means that the angle of refraction is greater than the angle of incidence, and so the light will bend away from the normal.

If a car changes ita velocity from 32km/hr to 54km/hr in 8.0 seconds, what is its acceleration

Andrews [41]

Firstly, let's convert the velocities in km/hr to m/s
32*1000/3600=8.89m/s
54*1000/3600=15m/s
From the formula, acceleration=V-U/t
15-8.89/8=0.76m/s²
hope this helps.
