Answer: True
Refraction is a phenomenon in which the light bends or changes its direction (and changes the speed of propagation, as well) <u>when passing through a medium</u> with a refractive index <u>different from the other medium. </u>
Where the Refractive index is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material:
Being a relation between the speed of light in vacuum and its speed in the other medium
.
It is important to note that in this process, the wavelength may be modified because it depends on the medium, however, the refracted ray of light does not change its frequency.
There are different kinds of conductors, most notably electrical and thermal conductors. But they are often inclusive of each other (electrical conductors are typically good thermal conductors).
A conductor transmits something through its body with high efficiency while an insulator does not transmit very well. In the case of electricity, a conductor transmits electrical energy between two points while an insulator blocks the flow of electricity.
Two examples of conductors are copper and silver. Two examples of insulators are wood and styrofoam.
Answer:
5.A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.
6.The Nazca plate is an oceanic plate, while the South American plate is continental. The fast moving Nazca plate is moving east towards the South American plate at a downward angle and converging. This process is called subduction, resulting in frequent earthquakes & production of the Andes Mountains.
7.The Nazca plate forms the southeastern part of the Pacific plate. The Nazca and the Pacific plate share both divergent and transform type of plate boundary. The Pacific and the Nazca plate are separating at an increasing rate of about 122-142mm/year.
8.Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.
Explanation:
In this case, volume of the can remains constant. The relationship between pressure and temperature at constant volume is given by:
P/T = Constant
Then
Where
P1 = 40 psi
P2 = ?
T1 = 60°F ≈ 289 K
T2 = 90°F ≈ 305 K (note, 363 K is not right)
Substituting;
A collision from above such as a meteor and an increase in volcano activity.
