Refraction refers to C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon typical of wave. Refraction occurs when a wave travels through the boundary between two different mediums. When this occurs, the wave changes speed, wavelength and direction (but the frequency remains the same).

In particular, the direction of the refracted ray is determined by Snell's Law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence, which is the angle between the direction of the incident wave and the normal to the boundary

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction, which is the angle between the direction of the refracted wave and the normal to the boundary

Therefore, the correct description of refraction is

C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

Calculate the translational speed of a cylinder when it reaches the foot of an incline 7.05 mm high. Assume it starts from rest

mestny [16]

Height is 7.05 m and not 7.05 mm

Answer:

9.603 m/s

Explanation:

We are dealing with rotation, so velocity of centre of mass is given by;

v_cm = Rω

Since we are working with a solid cylinder, moment of inertia of the cylinder is; I = ½mR²

Since it is rolled from the top to the bottom, at the top it will have potential energy(mgh) while at the bottom it will have kinetic energy (rotational plus translational kinetic energy).

Using conservation of energy, we have:

P.E = K.E_t + K.E_r

Formula for rotational and kinetic energy here are;

K.E_t = ½mv²

K.E_r = ½Iω²

mgh = ½mv² + ½Iω²

Since we want to find translational speed(v), let's get rid of ω.

Earlier, we saw that v_cm = Rω

Thus; ω = v/R

Also, we know that I = ½mR².

Thus;

mgh = ½mv² + ½(½mR²)(v/R)²

This gives;

mgh = ½mv² + ¼mv²

Divide through by m to get;

gh = v²(½ + ¼)

gh = ¾v²

Making v the subject gives;

v = √(4gh/3)

v = √((4 × 9.81 × 7.05)/3)

v = 9.603 m/s

How are earth and venus similar and different?

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Similarities would be
They are both made of rock.
They are close in size.
They both have thick atmospheres.
They both have similar densities.
The strength of the gravity on their surfaces is similar.

Differences would be Venus and Earth are planets in our solar system, with Venus being the second closest planet and the Earth being the third closest to the sun. The mass of the earth is about 1.23 times the mass of Venus.

Being closer to the sun, Venus is a lot hotter than the Earth. While the average temperature on the earth is about 14 °C, that on Venus is over 460 °C. . Hope that helps

Hey guys how to prevent from shock

Pie

U need an insulator to prevent the shock passing through , that's why there is a plastic sheet covering the copper wires so that it can prevent the electricity passing through as plastic is an insulator and does not conduct electricity
