Tendon Sheath - is a specialized bursa that wraps around a tendon to reduce friction.

<h3>What is Tendon Sheath ?</h3>

Tendon Sheath is a thin layer of tissue, surrounds each tendon in our body. The tendon sheath can also be called synovial lining or fibrous sheath. Tendon sheaths help to protect tendons from abrasive damage as they move.

Connection between Bursa and Tendon Sheath : Bursae are small fluid-filled sacs that can lie under a tendon, cushioning the tendon and protecting it from the injury. Bursae also provides an extra cushioning to adjacent structures that otherwise might rub against each other, which will cause wear and tear ( example, between a bone and a ligament ) .

So, lastly we can say that Tendon Sheath is the specialized bursa that wraps around a tendon to reduce friction.

Two sheets of polarizing material are placed such that their polarizing axes are 90° to each other and no light passes through t

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Polarization In this case angle of incidence is not equal to angle of polarization, hence reflected light is partially polarized and transmitted light is also partially polarized. by reflection is explained by Brewster's law,

According to this when unpolarized light incident on glass plate at an angle is called as angle of polarizing the reflected light is plane polarized, and transmitted light is partially polarized. The plane of vibration of polarized light is having plane of vibrations perpendicular to plane of incidence.

A charge of 8.4*10^-4 moves at an angle of 35 degrees to a magnetic field that has a field strentgh of 6.7

12345 [234]

The force on a charged particle in a magnetic field is given by

the speed of the charged particle = 10842 m/s.

Explanation:

F= q V B sinθ

F=force=3.5 x 10⁻²N

q= charge= 8.4 x 10⁻⁴ C

B= magnetic field= 6.7 x 10⁻³ T

θ=35⁰

Thus the velocity is given by V= $\frac{F}{q B sin35}$

V=(3.5 x 10⁻²)/[(8.4 x 10⁻⁴)(6.7 x 10⁻³)(sin35)]

V=10842 m/s

Difference between kilogram and kilometre in points

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Kilogram(kg) is the SI unit for mass while kilometre(km) is a unit for length. They are both similar in that they are 10^3 of a unit, thus kilo. As kilogram represents mass, it is a measure of how much matter is present in an object. While kilometre is a measure of distance/how long or short an object is.
