What are the characteristics of refraction​

Physics
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago

Characteristics of refraction: When light travels from one medium to another, the frequency of light does not change. However, the velocity and wavelength change. When travelling from one optical medium to another with different refractive indices, a ray of light bends.

(Hope this helps!!)

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Ptolemy proposed a model, he reference system is centered on the Earth

Copernicus, proposed a deferent system,  this system is centered on the Sun, where it is at the origin of the system

Explanation:

Thousands of years ago, Ptolemy proposed a model to explain the movement of the planets and stars in the sky, in this model the reference system is centered on the Earth, so each body is orbiting in different spheres around the Earth as its center, this system had very complicated calculations and curves to be able to explain the orbits of the planets.

More recently Copernicus, proposed a deferent system, this system is centered on the Sun, where it is at the origin of the system, in this system the movement of the planets are ellipses, which is a much simpler explanation and has been widely accepted, in current systems the reference system is fixed in the bodies more massive, since this simplifies the explanation of the movements.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

If sound waves of the same energy were passed through a block of wood and a block of steel, which is more dense than the wood, the molecules of the steel would vibrate at a slower rate. Sound moves faster through denser air because the molecules are closer together in dense air and sound can be more easily passed on.
