Define Refraction and give some knowlegde about it

Physics
1 answer:
shepuryov [24]3 years ago
7 0
Refraction is the change in direction of a wave, caused by the change in the wave's speed. Examples of waves include sound waves and light waves. Refraction is seen most often when a wave passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium. Different types of medium include air and water. When a wave passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium, the wave will change its speed and its direction. For example, when a light wave travels through air and then passes into water, the wave will slow and change direction.

A long solenoid (radius = 3.0 cm, 2500 turns per meter) carries a current given by I = 0.30 sin(200 t) A, where t is measured in
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

1.86 × 10 ∧-3 V/m

≅ 1.9 × 10 ∧-3 V/m

Explanation:

Radius of long solenoid (R)= 3 cm

Turns per meter (n) = 2500

current flowing in coil (I) = 0.30 sin (200 t)

Time (t) = 2.5 ms

Distance at which electric field calculated (r) = 4 cm

The main solution is shown in the picture attached below.

Thank you and i hope it helps.

A 2kg blob of putty moving at 4 m/s slams into a 6kg blob of putty at rest what is the speed of the to stick together blobs imme
andrew11 [14]
<h2>Answer</h2>

1m/s

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Given that:

<em>Mass of first blob = 2kg = m1</em>

<em>Velocity of blob = 4m/s = v1</em>

<em>Mass of second blob = 6kg = m2</em>

<em>Velocity of blob = 0m/s = v2</em>

<em />

To find:

<em>Final velocity = Vf</em>

<em />

<em>This question is of inelastic collision which is any collision between objects in which some energy is lost.</em>

<em />

<h3>Formula to be use:</h3><h2>(m1*v1) + (m2*V2) = Vf(m1 + m2)</h2>

(2*4) + (6*0) = Vf(2+6)

8 + 0 = Vf(8)

8 = Vf(8)

Vf = 1 m/s

So the speed of two blobs immediately after colliding = 1 m/s

Se deja caer una pelota inicialmente en reposo desde una altura de 50m sobre el nivel del suelo. ¿cuanto tiempo requiere para ll
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

a) t = 3.2 s

b) v_{f} = -32 m/s

Explanation:

a) El tiempo requerido para llegar al suelo se puede calcular usando la siguiente fórmula:

t = \sqrt{\frac{2y_{0}}{g}}

En donde:

y_{0}: es la altura inicial = 50 m

g: es la gravedad = 10 m/s²

t = \sqrt{\frac{2y_{0}}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*50 m}{10 m/s^{2}}} = 3.2 s

Entonces, el tiempo requerido para llegar al suelo es 3.2 s.

b) La rapidez de la pelota justo antes del choque es el siguiente:

v_{f} = v_{0} - gt

En donde:

v_{0}: es la velocidad inicial = 0 (dado que se deja caer en resposo)

v_{f} = v_{0} - gt = 0 - 10 m/s^{2}*3.2 s = -32 m/s

Por lo tanto, la rapidez de la pelota justo en el momento anterior del choque es -32 m/s (el signo negativo es porque la pelota está cayendo).

Espero que te sea de utilidad!

A wave has a wavelength of 125 meters is moving at a speed of 20 m/s. What is it’s frequency?
Ann [662]

Answer: 0.16Hz

Explanation:

Given that:

wavelength (λ) = 125 meters

speed (V) = 20 m/s

frequency (F) = ?

Recall that frequency is the number of cycles the wave complete in one second. And its value depends on the wavelength and speed of the wave.

So, apply the formula V = F λ

Make F the subject formula

F = V / λ

F = 20 m/s / 125 meters

F = 0.16 Hz

Thus, the frequency of the wave is 0.16 Hertz.
