Depth of a pond seems shallower than real depth,why?​

Answer:

The refraction of light at the surface of water makes ponds and swimming pools appear shallower than they really are. A 1m deep pond would only appear to be 0.75 m deep when viewed from directly above. When light emerges from glass or water into air it speeds up again.

Explanation:

Answer:

The property of light is the refraction of light because when light travels from a denser medium to rarer medium it bends away from the normal. The apparent depth of water is always less than the real depth of the water. Hence, water appears to be shallower than the real depth.

A negative velocity, approaching zero, represents a negative acceleration. True or False
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Lets assume our positive direction to the right (this reasoning works for any direction). A negative velocity would then be then directed to the left. If it varies as such that it aproaches to zero, it means that the variation is directed to the right, and that is where the direction of the acceleration must be pointing. In other words, its losing its velocity, so the acceleration must point opposite to the velocity. Then it means the acceleration is positive.

How many boron atoms are there in 5 molecules of BF3? Hint: The symbol for boron is B. Submit​
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

5 atoms of Boron

Explanation:

Boron makes up approximately 15.944% of the mass and the rest of the 84.056% is Fluorine. There is 5 Atoms because Boron atomic mass is 10.811 in 1 molecule of BF3 and you wanted 5 Molecules.

Certain x-rays have a frequency of 1.0×1019hz. calculate their wavelength in air.
Murljashka [212]
For any electromagnetic wave, the relationship between frequency and wavelength is given by
\lambda =  \frac{c}{f}
where
\lambda is the wavelength
c is the speed of light (the speed of the electromagnetic wave)
f is the frequency

For the X-rays in our problem, the frequency is f=1.0 \cdot 10^{19}Hz, while the speed of light is c=3.0 \cdot 10^8 m/s, so the wavelength of this radiation is
\lambda= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.0 \cdot 10^{19} Hz} =3 \cdot 10^{-11} m
