Physics

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.

Which considerations are used to calculate a windchill factor? Select two options.
vlada-n [284]

Wind speed and air temperature are used to calculate a windchill factor.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u></u>

Wind-chill factor is the reduction of body temperature due to the passing flow of lower-temperature air.

The air temperature  value is always higher than the wind chill numbers. the heat index will be used if the apparent temperature is higher than the air temperature.So, Wind speed and air temperature are mainly used to calculate a windchill factor.

There are many ways, the surface loses its heat through conduction, evaporation,radiation, and convection.The rate of convection depends on  the difference in temperature between the surface and the fluid surrounding the surface and the velocity of that fluid with respect to the surface. The air around the warm surface will be heated, an insulating  layer of warm air forms against the surface.The layer becomes a boundary between two. As the wind speed is high the surface cools down rapidly.
