When light strikes the inside surface of a smooth, curved mirror the light will bounce back toward a single spot. The reason it does this is because mirrors reflect light and other objects.

Hope this helps! Please make my answer the brainliest!

Answer:

A curved mirror is a cut out spherical glass which is coated with highly-lustrous metal at the back. There are two kinds of curved mirrors- convex mirror and concave mirror.  

When light strikes the inside of a smooth, curved mirror, it either converges the light towards focus or the light appears to diverge from the focus. Thus, the light reflects back from the surface and converges or appears to converge from a point called focus of the curved mirror.

That's an urban legend that's been around for a long time.
It was tested on "Mythbusters".  The conclusion was that
it would sting pretty good, and maybe raise a lump, but
it would never penetrate the skull, and it couldn't kill.

Which tuning fork would sound lower,one with frequency 512 Hz or 128 Hz?
levacccp [35]
When you hear a "pure tone" ... like the sound of a tuning fork
or an audio oscillator ... the pitch you perceive tracks directly
with the frequency.

The 128 Hz tuning fork will sound lower than the 512 Hz one.

In fact, it will sound exactly two octaves lower.

Alenkinab [10]
3.5 meters per second second is the acceleration because we know that acceleration is change in velocity over time and the change is velocity here is 35 and the time is 10 so we can simply divide 35 by 10 which is 3.5 m/s squared
