Answer:

bending of light

Explanation:

Irina-Kira [14]3 years ago

Answer: Refraction of light is the bending of light when it passes from rarer(less dense) medium to a denser medium or vice versa.

Explanation:  The bending of light happens as light travels at different speed in different medium for example light travels slower in water than compared to air as water is denser than air. That is why when you put a pen in a glass cup you will notice that the pen is slightly shifted (the part of the pen above water is travelling at a different speed than the part of the pen underwater).

Hope this you understand it

Which of the following describes gamma rays?
Anarel [89]

Answer: short wavelength, high frequency

Explanation:

Gamma rays are highly energetic electromagnetic waves. High energy implies high frequency.

E = h ν

h is the Planck's constant, ν is the frequency.

For electromagnetic radiation, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. Thus, gamma rays have high frequency but short wavelength.

The frequency of gamma rays is greater than 10¹⁹ Hz and wavelength is less 10⁻¹² m.

A researcher studying the nutritional value of a new candy places a 4.60 g sample of the candy inside a bomb calorimeter and com
blagie [28]

Answer:

4500.5 nutritional calories per gram

Explanation:

Heat lost by the new candy = heat gained by the bomb calorimeter.

Heat gained by the bomb calorimeter = c×ΔT

where c = heat capacity of the calorimeter = 32.20 KJ/K = 32200 J/K

ΔT = change in temperature = 2.69°C = 2.69 K.

Heat gained by the bomb calorimeter = 32200 × 2.69 = 86618 J

Heat lost by the new candy = heat gained by the bomb calorimeter = 86618 J = 20702.2 calories

4.60 g of the new candy lost this amount of calories by undergoing combustion,

The amount of calories per g = 20702.2 calories/4.6 g = 4500.5 calories per gram

A builder drops a brick from a height of 15 m above the ground. The gravitational field strength g is 10 N/ kg. What is the spee
Basile [38]

The speed of the brick dropped by the builder as it hits the ground is 17.32m/s.

Given the data in the question;

Since the brick was initially at rest before it was dropped,

  • Initial Velocity; u = 0
  • Height from which it has dropped; h = 15m
  • Gravitational field strength; g = 10N/kg = 10 \frac{kg.m/s^2}{kg} = 10m/s^2

Final speed of brick as it hits the ground; v =  \ ?

<h3>Velocity</h3>

velocity is simply the same as the speed at which a particle or object moves. It is the rate of change of position of an object or particle with respect to time. As expressed in the Third Equation of Motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh

Where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, h is its height or distance from ground and g is gravitational field strength.

To determine the speed of the brick as it hits the ground, we substitute our giving values into the expression above.

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh\\\\v^2 = 0 + ( 2\ *\ 10m/s^2\ *\ 15m)\\\\v^2 = 300m^2/s^2\\\\v = \sqrt{300m^2/s^2}\\ \\v = 17.32m/s

Therefore, the speed of the brick dropped by the builder as it hits the ground is 17.32m/s.

What have psychologists learned about perception from optical illusions ?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Explanation:

That an optical illusion somehow interferes with the way we see things. Even simple illusions can completely fool us. If you search out the term, you'll see all kinds of them.

Most critically we see one thing and know another to be true. But knowing the truth doesn't help us. We still see and believe the truth of the illusion.
