Two plane mirrors make the angle α = 46.0 ° α=46.0° between them. A ray of light incident on one of the mirrors is reflected and

it hits the second mirror. Find the angle between the ray incident on the first mirror and the ray reflected off of the second mirror.

Answer:

β = 88°

Explanation:

Given,

Angle between the mirror, α = 46.0 °

Let 'i' and 'r' be the angle made with mirror by incident and reflected ray respectively.

Now,

α + i + r = 180°

i + r = 180°-46°

i + r = 134°

we know, angle of incidence and angle of reflection are equal.

Let β be the required angle

β + (180°-2i) + (180°-2r) = 180°

β -2(i+r) = -180

β = -180° + 2 x 134°

β = 88°

Hence, the angle between them is equal to 88°.

The magnitude of the magnetic field B a distance r from a long straight wire is B = μ 0 I 2 π r where μ 0 is the permeability co
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The magnetic field is lowest for largest distance and highest when distance is least.

Explanation:

The magnitude of magnetic field strength at a distance 'r' from a long straight wire carrying current 'I' is given as:

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}\\Where,\mu_0\to permeability\ constant\ of\ free\ space

Now, as per question, the distance 'r' is varied while keeping the current constant in the wire.

As seen from the above formula, the magnitude of magnetic field strength for a constant current varies inversely with the distance 'r'. This means that, as the value of 'r' increases, the magnitude of magnetic field strength decreases and vice-versa.

Therefore, the magnitude of magnetic field strength is maximum when the distance 'r' is least and the magnetic field is minimum for the largest distance.

Example:

If B_1, B_2,\ and\ B_3 are the magnitudes of magnetic field strengths for distances r_1,r_2, \ and\ r_3 respectively such that r_1. Now, as per the explanation above, the order of magnitudes of magnetic field strength is:

B_1>B_2>B_3

Freya has a mass of 14kg she is running at 1.1m/s to the left when she runs into Eric, who is standing still. Eric has a mass of
Lilit [14]

Their final velocity  is 0.48 m/s.


We can use conservation of momentum to calculate the magnitude of the final velocity.


Momentum before collision is equal to the momentum after collision


m1v1+m2v2=(m1+m2)v


here, v is final velocity , assuming right side velocity as positive, and left side velocity as negative.


14*(-1.1)+18*(0)=(14+18)v


v=-0.48 m/s


Here, negative sign indicates that they both  will move in left direction.

Which is an example of something heated by conduction
hodyreva [135]
An example would be a pot on a stove. The radiation from the source of the heat (the stove) would make the handle hot by conduction from heat through contact.

Another example could be a metal spoon in a hot cup of coffee. The coffee itself is hot, but since the spoon is in the coffee and making contact, part of the spoon will become hot from the radiation of the source of heat (the hot coffee). Thus, conduction.

In an experiment to measure the wavelength of light using a double slit, it is found that the fringes are too close together to
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

halve the slit separation

Explanation:

As we know that

In YDS experiment, the equation of fringe width is as follows

\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}

where,

D denotes the separation in the middle of screen and slits

d denotes the distance in the middle of two slits

And to increase the Δx we have to decrease the d i.e, the distance between the two slits

Hence, the first option is correct
