All waves change speed when they enter a new medium, but they don't always bend. When does bending occur?

Physics
1 answer:
Anastaziya [24]3 years ago
5 0
Bending occurs when one side of the wave enters the new medium before the other side of the wave. ... The bending occurs because the two sides of the wave are traveling at different speeds.

hodyreva [135]
A).  Convection is heating the soup in the pot.
When you stick the spoon into the hot soup,
conduction heats the spoon all the way up to the end.

b).  Water conducts heat a little bit. 
But convection is much more responsible for the
uniform distribution of temperature in the kiddie pool.

c).  The heat from the metal bench conducts directly
to the buttus epidermis when you sit on it.

d).  You feel the heat on your face ... but not on the back of your
neck ... on account of radiation from the fire and the hot grill.

Two identical stones are thrown from the top of a tall building. Stone 1 is thrown vertically downward with an initial speed v,
Molodets [167]

If the resistance of the Air is ignored, we can use the theory given by Galileo in which he warned that the thermal velocity of a body in free fall was given by

v= \frac{1}{2}gt

Where

g = Gravitational acceleration

t = time

As we can see the speed of objects in free fall is indifferent to the position that is launched (as long as the resistance of the air is ignored) or its mass.

Both bodies will end with the same thermal speed.

Through which one of the following mediums is the velocity of a sound wave the greatest?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer: C. Steel

Explanation: When a sound wave travels through a solid body consisting

of an elastic material, the velocity of the wave is relatively

high. For instance, the velocity of a sound wave traveling

through steel (which is almost perfectly elastic) is about

5,060 meters per second. On the other hand, the velocity

of a sound wave traveling through an inelastic solid is

relatively low. So, for example, the velocity of a sound wave

traveling through lead (which is inelastic) is approximately

1,402 meters per second.
