the musical instrument such as a piano may be tuned by using the phenomenon of beats.

The phenomena of beat frequency is often used to tune musical instruments like piano. A tuning fork is tapped ad a string of paino is plucked simultaneously. If the two sound sources produce beats whose frequencies are different, their frequencies won't be identical, and they are will out of tune and noise. Hence the above process is repeated until the frequencies are identical and resonant and the frequencies are not distinguished. Thus making the instrument in tune

This method will work more efficiently for an instrument that is entirely out of tune because it will be easier to distinguish the beats of the instruments and the tuning fork.

Hence the musical instrument such as a piano may be tuned by using the phenomenon of beats.

Rainfall occurs on the earth due to effect of gravity

Anna [14]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>Because </em><em>Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects, and Earth's gravity pulls matter downward, toward its center. It pulls precipitation down from clouds and pulls water downhill. Gravity also moves air and ocean water. ... Gravity pulls denser air and water downward, forcing less dense air and water to move upward.</em>

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon in which a wave (the light in this case) bends or changes its direction <u>when passing through a medium with a refractive index different from the other medium.</u> Where the Refractive index is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material.

According to this, if we observe the rays A an D passing throgh the biconcave lens, we will have two mediums:

1) The air

2)The material of the biconcave lens

This two mediums have different refractive indexes, hence the rays will change the direction.

-For the incident ray A, the corresponding refractive ray is B, because is the ray that bends after passing throgh the lens

-For the incident ray D, the refracted ray is E following the same principle.
