When light travels from air to water at an angle which of the following happens? a) the light slows down and it changes direction away from the perpendicular. b) the light slows down and it changes direction towards the perpendicular. c) the light speeds up and it changes direction away from the perpendicular. d) the light speeds up and it changes direction towards the perpendicular.

b) The light slows down and it changes direction towards the perpendicular.

Explanation:

Light travels at different speed in different mediums.

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

Light travels at a slower speed in water as compared to air because there are more number of interfering molecules in the path of the light in case of water as compared to liquid.

When a light travels from lower denser medium say water to higher denser medium say water, it bends towards the perpendicular as its speed reduces in that medium.

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.

the bal will not change its velocity.
