11. Reflecting telescopes are popular because they're _______ than a refracting telescope.

I do not know what the school expects as an answer, but advantage of reflecting telescopes is that there is only one major reflecting surface, so it is quite easy to create a 6 or 8 inch telescope by an amateur, after adding on a prism and an eyepiece. (a microscope eyepiece could be used).
MY answer would be "easier to build". (it still takes tens of hours to grind and polish the single plane surface to a parabolic surface).

Electromagnetic waves all have the same velocity in the same medium. However, since frequencies vary widely, so do wavelengths.

As a rain storm passes through a region, there is an associated drop in atmospheric pressure. If the height of a mercury baromet

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

new atmospheric pressure is 0.9838 × $10^{5}$ Pa

Explanation:

given data

height = 21.6 mm = 0.0216 m

Normal atmospheric pressure = 1.013 ✕ 10^5 Pa

density of mercury = 13.6 g/cm³

to find out

atmospheric pressure

solution

we find first height of mercury when normal pressure that is

pressure p = ρ×g×h

put here value

1.013 × $10^{5}$ = 13.6 × 10³ × 9.81 × h

h = 0.759 m

so change in height Δh = 0.759 - 0.0216

new height H = 0.7374 m

so new pressure = ρ×g×H

put here value

new pressure = 13.6 × 10³ × 9.81 × 0.7374

atmospheric pressure = 98380.9584

so new atmospheric pressure is 0.9838 × $10^{5}$ Pa

A robot is on the surface of Mars. The angle of depression from a camera in the robot to a rock on the surface of Mars is 13.69

ra1l [238]

Answer:

The distance between the camera and the rock is 836.6 cm

Explanation:

A right triangle is formed where the hypotenuse (h) is the distance between the rock and the camera. One of the leg (l) is the distance between the camera and the surface. The angle between the hypotenuse and this leg is α = 90° - 13.69° = 76.31°. By definition:

cos α = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(76.31) = 198.0/h

h = 198.0/cos(76.31)

h = 836.6 cm

Select the options that best complete the statement.

andriy [413]

Answer:

Positively charged particle trajectories always follow electric field lines because the electric force on a positively charged particle is in the same direction as the electric field.

Explanation:

For any positive charge the electric field emerges radially outwards and it goes radially inwards for the negative charges.

From the theory of electric field lines we know that they never intersect each other, either they get merged when the sources are unlike or they repel when the sources are alike. In other words the electric field lines align in the same direction as that of the field.
So, when a positive charge is released into the an electric field they follow the direction of the field lines because they too have their field lines emerging radially outwards and hence these lines align in the direction of the field.
