## How light maintain its speed after refraction?

How light maintain its speed after refraction? -(Naveen Saxena asked) Answer: The speed of light in a medium is constant. When light enters from one medium to another, there is a change in the speed of light and the change is almost instantaneous. The speed of light in a medium depends on the electric and …

## A question from Kinematics : 100m long a train passing a 40m long bridge in 20.Find out the velocity of the train?

Mitu asked – “100m long a train passing a 40m long bridge in 20.Find out the velocity of the train?” Ans: The total distance to be traveled by the train to completely traverse the bridge is 100 + 40 = 140 m Time = 20 s From the relation, $speed = \frac{distance}{time}$ $speed = \frac{140}{20}=7m/s$

Here you can find the equations of motion in the form of images which you can use in your documents. $v = u + at$ $S = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$ $v^{2} = u^{2} + 2aS$
