Different speeds of light through two separate media ... and the difference in wavelength caused by the difference ... causes the bending of waves fronts associated with light rays.
AFTER the bend, since the light rays then travel in a different direction, we may also say that the 'velocity' has changed.
It's and if, then statement!
The answer is gravity. I hope this helps.
Answer:
s = 6.25 10⁻²² m
Explanation:
Polarizability is the separation of electric charges in a structure, in the case of the atom it is the result of the separation of positive charges in the nucleus and the electrons in their orbits, macroscopically it is approximated by
p = q s
s = p / q
let's calculate
s = 1 10⁻⁴⁰ / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹
s = 0.625 10⁻²¹ m
s = 6.25 10⁻²² m
We see that the result is much smaller than the size of the atom, therefore this simplistic model cannot be taken to an atomic scale.
