Which statement best explains the speed of light waves as they travel from gas to solid?

Physics
1 answer:
igomit [66]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Light waves slow down as they travel from gas to solid.

Explanation:

The speed of light is often quoted with reference to a vacuum. Light travels fastest in a vacuum and in a gas.

When light travels through other media such as solids or liquids, the speed of light is decreased due to absorption and scattering of photons by molecules as well as remissions.

Hence the speed of light decreases from gas to solid.

A 2100 g block is pushed by an external force against a spring (with a 22 N/cm spring constant) until the spring is compressed b
Vilka [71]

Answer:

6.5e-4 m

Explanation:

We need to solve this question using law of conservation of energy

Energy at the bottom of the incline= energy at the point where the block will stop

Therefore, Energy at the bottom of the incline consists of the potential energy stored in spring and gravitational potential energy=\frac{1}{2} kx^{2} +PE1

Energy at the point where the block will stop consists of only gravitational potential energy=PE2

Hence from Energy at the bottom of the incline= energy at the point where the block will stop

⇒\frac{1}{2} kx^{2} +PE1=PE2

⇒PE2-PE1=\frac{1}{2} kx^{2}

Also PE2-PE2=mgh

where m is the mass of block

g is acceleration due to gravity=9.8 m/s

h is the difference in height between two positions

⇒mgh=\frac{1}{2} kx^{2}

Given m=2100kg

k=22N/cm=2200N/m

x=11cm=0.11 m

∴2100*9.8*h=\frac{1}{2}*2200*0.11^{2}

⇒20580*h=13.31

⇒h=\frac{13.31}{20580}

⇒h=0.0006467m=6.5e-4

Which best describes a difference between laser light and regular light?
Inga [223]
The basic difference is that the ordinary sources are incoherent that means that the discrete frequencies merge up to give an intermediate between the maximum and minimum frequencies. While the laser is coherent containing the single frequency with maximum amplitude. thus travelling far.

What is the potential energy of a 30 Newton ball that is on the ground
Juli2301 [7.4K]
The potential energy of a 30N ball on the ground will be zero. With respect to height, h. Potential energy will be calculated like this. P=mgh. So if its on the ground relatively speaking the h=0. Thus inputting into the above formula. P=0.

3. Describe the flow of one molecule of water through the water cycle, beginning in the ocean.
scZoUnD [109]

molecules of water are never destroyed - they go through various uses in a cycle of re-use. beginning in the ocean. a water molecue is attached to the wet suit of a deep sea diver. when the diver gets back on his boat, the water molecule leaves the ocean. Diver dry his suit under the sun. The water molecule is evaporated to the air. It meets up with more water molecules to form cloud. Cloud becomes rain over ground. Rain drains into stream which merges into river. River runs out to the ocean and the water cycle starts anew.
