What is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction when light passes from a medium where its sp

eed is greater into a medium where its speed is lower?
Physics
1 answer:
Bogdan [553]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

This is because the speed of a wave is determined by the medium through which it is passing. When light speeds up as it passes from one material to another, the angle of refraction is bigger than the angle of incidence. For example, this happens when light passes from water to air or from glass to water ❤

The minimum stopping distance of a car moving at 20.5 mi/h is 11.6 m. Under the same conditions (so that the maximum braking for
pshichka [43]

Answer:

d = 69 .57 meter

Explanation:

First case

Speed of car ( v )  = 20.5 mi/h  = 9.164  M/S

distance ( d ) = 11.6 meter                                       ( m = mass of the car )

Work done = 0.5 m v²  = 0.5 * 9.164² * m J  = 41.99 m J

Force = ( workdone /distance ) = ( 41.99 m / 11.6 )   =  3.619 m N

Second case

v = 50.2 mi/h = 22.44135 m/s

d = ?

Work done = 0.5 * 22.44² * m J = 251.7768 * m J

Since the braking force remains the same .

3.619 m = ( 251.7768 m / d )

d = 69 .57 meter

A 3.20 kg block starts at rest and slides a distance d down a frictionless β = 30.0 ◦ incline, where it runs into a spring with
Virty [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) work done by gravitational force

= mg sinθ ( d + .21)

Potential energy stored in compressed spring

= 1/2 k x²

= .5 x 431 x ( .21 )²

= 9.5

According to conservation of energy

mg sinθ ( d + .21)  = 9.5

3.2 x 9.8 x sin 30( d + .21 ) = 9.5

d = 40 cm

b )

As long as mg sin30 is greater than kx ( restoring force ) , there will be acceleration in the block.

mg sin30 = kx

3.2 x 9.8 x .5 = 431 x

x =  3.63 cm

When there is compression of 3.63 cm in the spring , block will have maximum velocity. there after its speed will start decreasing.

Make a general statement about what happens to light as it enters a different medium.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Refraction is an effect that occurs when a light wave, incident at an angle away from the normal, passes a boundary from one medium into another in which there is a change in velocity of the light. The wavelength decreases as the light enters the medium and the light wave changes direction.
