Refraction is a change in the direction of light rays when they travel from one medium to another. It is the bending of light when it goes through different media.

Angle of Refraction

Light is considered by many scientists to have dual nature, both particle nature and wave nature. First, Particle nature is one in which we consider a stream of packets of energy called photons. Second, Wave nature is considering light as electromagnetic…

SARET CRKS AUTOWAY 12. A stone is dropped from the top of a cliff. It is seen to hit the ground below after 3.55 s. How high is the cliff? 13. A ball is dropped from rest at the top of a building that is 320 m tall. Assuming no air resistance, what is the speed of the ball just before it strikes the ground? 14. Estimate (a) how long it took King Kong to fall straight down from the top of the Empire State Building (280m high), and (b) his velocity just before "landing". Useful equations For Constant Velocity: V => D X = V₁t + Xo For Constant Acceleration: Vr = V + at X = Xo+Vot + v=V+2a(X-Xo) \prom = V +V V velocity t = time D Distance X = Final Position Xo Initial Position V = Final Velocity Vo Initial Velocity a = acceleration For free fall Yf = Final Position Yo Initial Position g = 9.80 m $2 For free fall: V = V + gt Y=Yo+Vo t + +gt V,² = V₁²+2g (Y-Yo) V+Vo Vprom= 2 6
