Consider three identical electric bulbs of power P. Two of bulbs are connected in series and the third one is connected in paral
Tamiku [17]

Answer: 3P/2

Explanation: Let the resistance of the bulbs be R.

now lets consider a Voltage V is supplied to the parallel circuit  such that

P=VI=V^2/R

V=IR

both single bulb( bulb 3) and the two bulbs ( bulb 1 and bulb 2) are provided the same Voltage

( as the voltage remains same in parallel circuit)

we can calculate the Current across both circuits

At Bulb 3

Current 1=V/R

Power1=Voltage * Current1

Power1=V*V/R

Power1=P

At Bulb 1 and Bulb 2

Total Resistance= R+R=2R

Current2=\frac{V}{2R}

Power2=Voltage * Current2

Power2=V*\frac{V}{2R} \\Power2=\frac{V^2}{2R} \\Power2=P/2

TotalPower=Power1+Power2\\TotalPower=P+P/2\\TotalPower=\frac{3P}{2}

Does the refraction of light make a swimming pool seem deeper or shallower? explain your answer.
larisa [96]

The refraction of light makes a swimming pool seem <u>shallower</u>.

The swimming pool seems shallower because the rays of light coming from the bottom of the pool do not come with a straight path. The path of light is straight as long as it is in the water.

When lights come out of the water into the air it bents downwards. This bending is called refraction.

Refraction forms a virtual image of the pool and it seems shallower than it actually is to the observer. This only happens when light travels from one transparent medium into another having lower density.

A beam of monochromatic light is aimed at a slit of width and forms a diffraction pattern. In which case is the width of the cen
AysviL [449]

When the incident light is yellow the width of the central band greater. Single-wavelength light sources are known as monochromatic lights, where mono stands for one and chroma for color. Monochromatic lights are defined as visible light that falls inside a specific range of wavelengths. It has a wavelength that falls within a constrained wavelength range.

A laser beam is the ideal illustration of monochromatic light. A monochromatic light beam produced by a single atomic transition with a particular single wavelength is what makes up a laser. A color scheme that consists solely of different shades of one color is referred to as monochromatic.
