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.

Suppose you increase your walking speed from 7 m/s to 15 m/s in a period of 2 m. What is your acceleration?
likoan [24]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (end speed) - (start speed) = (15 m/s - 7 m/s) = 8 m/s

time for the change = 2 minutes = 120 seconds

Acceleration = (8 m/s) / (120 seconds)

Acceleration = 0.067 m/s²
