Question

question #5
which of the following is an example of refraction?
a woman brushes her hair while looking in the mirror
a man puts a silver shield in his car window on a hot day to keep the car cooler
a boy thinks a fish in water is closer than it really is
a girl sees a mirror image of herself in a still pond
question #6
two students have a jump rope stretched out between them. one student shakes their hand up and down while the other student holds their hand still. which of the following best describes the type of wave produced?
longitudinal
transverse
electromagnetic
circular

Explanation:

• For Question #5: Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another. When a boy thinks a fish in water is closer than it really is, it's because light rays from the fish bend as they move from water (a denser medium) to air (a less - dense medium), creating an optical illusion. The other options involve reflection (woman looking in mirror, girl seeing image in pond) or heat - related prevention (man with car shield).
• For Question #6: When one student shakes their hand up and down on a jump rope while the other holds still, the particles of the rope move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's travel, which is the characteristic of a transverse wave. Longitudinal waves have particle motion parallel to the wave direction, electromagnetic waves are a different class of waves (not relevant here), and circular waves are not applicable in this simple rope - shaking scenario.

Answer:

Question #5: A boy thinks a fish in water is closer than it really is
Question #6: Transverse
