When a ray passes from air into glass the direction in which the light ray is travelling changes. The light ray appears to bend as it as it passes through the surface of the glass. ... This 'bending of a ray of light' when it passes from one substance into another substance is called refraction.

Answer:

Explanation:

Direction of velocity of electromagnetic wave is given by the formula

E = E j ( vector form )

B = - Bi ( vector form )

Direction of velocity = direction of vector E X B

= E X B

= E j x -Bi

= - EB -k

v = EBk

So the direction of velocity will be along z direction.

A plane flies at 400 north of East for 150 miles,then flies 200 miles at an angle of 150 west of North. What is the plane's fina

Answer:

341.46miles

Explanation:

Find the diagram attachment.

To get the displacement D, we will use the cosine rule as shown;

D² = 200²+150²-2(160)(400)cos65°

D² = 40000+22500-128000cos65°

D² = 62500+54095.14

D² = 116595.14

D = √116595.14

D= 341.46 miles

Hence the plane final displacement is 341.46miles
