What are the three factors that affect how much heat an object absorbs or loses?
awesome good and mad
What are the factors that affect the period of a pendulum?
In an ideal pendulum, the only factors that affect the period of a pendulum are its length and the acceleration due to gravity. The latter, although often taken to be constant, can vary by as much as 5% between sites. In a real pendulum, the amplitude will also have an effect; but if the amplitude is relatively small, this can safely be ignored.
When white light is refracted the amount that the light bends depends on what?
The medium. The denser the material the more light slows down as it enters. As it slows down the angle of refraction will be smaller than the angle of incidence and the ray will bend towards the normal. How much it bends will depend in the difference in speed which depends on the density of the material. The ratio between the 'speeds' is the refractive index. Look up refractive index and Snell's law.
What happens to a wave when it is refracted?
When the wave is refracted, it changes speed as it passes through different media.
Does the size of the light bulb affect how much energy it uses with wire and a battery?
No, only the resistance of the filament counts (normally marked as "wattage" on the bulb).
Do electromagnetic waves have too much energy to be refracted?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave.
Why water in a rock pool often appears to be much shallower than it is?
Because the light is refracted and so the water appears shallower than it is Because the light is refracted and so the water appears shallower than it is
What amount of water and light intensity are all factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis?
it depends on how much the temp is.
What three things determine how much light is refracted as it passes through a substance?
medium, reflection, and how dense the object is
How will the angle of light affect how much the piece of wood is heated?
The nagle of light determines the area over which the energy of the light is spread out and that will affect how much it is heated.
What factors affect the saltiness?
The saltiness of something is determined by how much salt is in it.
How does the light affect how much sugar a plant makes?
hi
What two factors affect how much an object moves?
By finding its mass and Velocity
Identify two factors that affect plant growth?
Light and soil. The color of the light can make a difference. In red/ infrared light they grow faster because they are not getting much direct sunlight. The soils' mineral content, PH and moisture level effects the plants ability to grow.
What factors affect demand?
There are a number of factors that affect resource demand. Some of them include amount of labor, income prices of the related aspects, availability of the resources and so much more.
In an optical fiber how do you ensure the light is reflected and not refracted?
In a fiber you don't want any reflection. You just want efficient transmission of information. Fiber that is bent too much bleeds to light into the cladding. You must polish fiber when joining it to another.
