What happens to light when it travels from air into water

Physics
1 answer:
spin [16.1K]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Water is more dense than air. When water goes through a denser thing, the light is "bent" more towards the "normal" which is a straight, vertical line.

A comet is cruising through the solar system at a speed of 50,000 kilometers per hour foe 4 hours time. What is the total distan
Triss [41]

Answer:

<em>The distance covered by comet is </em>200,000 km

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance with time. It is given by the equation speed= \bold{\frac{distance}{time}}

Thus distance= speed*time

In this problem it is given that speed of comet= \frac{50,000km}{hr}

time travelled by the comet= 4 hours

Thus distance= speed*time

                            = 500000*4

                            = \bold{200,000km}

determine the pressure exerted on the surface of a submarine cruising 175 ft below the free surface of the sea. assume that the
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

92.81 psia.

Explanation:

The density of water by multiplying its specific gravity by the density of sea water.

SG = density of sea water/density of water

ρ = SG x ρw

1 kg/m3 = 62.4 lbm/ft^3

= 1.03 * 62.4

= 64.27lbm/ft^3.

The absolute pressure at 175 ft below sea level as this is the location of the submarine.

P = Patm +ρgh

= 14.7 + 64.27 * 32.2 * 175

Converting to pound force square inch,

= 14.7 + 64.27 * (32.2ft/s^2) * (175ft) * (1lbf/32.2lbm⋅ft/s^2) * (1ft^2/144in^2 )

= 14.7 + 78.11 psia

= 92.81 psia.
