Answer:

No, the angle of reflection is independent on the angle of refraction. The total internal reflection is when the angle of incidence is more than the critical angle.

Explanation:

No, the angle of reflection is independent on the angle of refraction. The angle of reflection is only affected by the angle of incidence.

The total internal reflection is when the angle of incidence (I) is more than the critical angle (C). When the light ray pass through the rectangular block, with time, a critical angle will be formed when the refracted ray is exactly 90 degrees to the normal. As soon as the angle of incidence is more than the critical angle, a total internal reflection is formed (as shown in the attached figure).

kvasek [131]
The nebular theory describes the formation of the solar system and states that the system began as a gigantic cloud of gas and dust called a nebula which eventually condensed to form the sun, planets and other objects in the solar system. The first fact speaks to the formation of the planets, where gravity pulled larger clumps of material closer to form solid rocky planets closer to the sun and gas giants further out. The second requirement is that a nearby explosion or super nova would have to disturb our nebula to trigger rotation and the eventual formation of the sun. The third requirement/fact is that the planets go around the sun in the same direction. the last fact is that the planets go around the sun within 6 degrees of a common plane. This indicates that the solar system formed from a spinning disk of materials.

A fire engine approaches a wall at 5 m/s while the siren emits a tone of 500 Hz frequency. At the time, the speed of sound in ai
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The  values is  f_b  =14.9 \  beats/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  speed of the fire engine is  v =  5\ m/s

    The frequency of the tone is  f =  500 \ Hz

    The speed of sound in air is v_s  =  340 \ m/s

The  beat frequency is mathematically represented as

     f_b  =  f_a  -  f

Where  f_a is the frequency of sound heard by the people in the fire engine and is is mathematically evaluated as

   f_a  =  [\frac{v_s + v }{v_s  -v} ]* f

substituting values

  f_a  =  [\frac{340 + 5 }{340  -5} ]* 500

  f_a  = 514.9 \  Hz

Thus  

      f_b  =514.9 -  500

      f_b  =14.9 \  beats/s

Answer:

constructive interference in which waves strengthen each other

Explanation:

Some definitions:

- Costructive interference occurs when two (or more) waves meet each other in phase, so with same displacement at the same point. In such situation, the two waves strengthen each other, and the amplitude of the resultant wave is the sum of the amplitudes of the individual waves

- Destructive interference occurs when two waves meet each other in anti-phase, so with opposite displacement at the same point. In such situation, the two waves cancel each other out, and the amplitude of the resultant wave is the difference of the amplitudes of the individual waves (which means zero if the two waves are identical)

For light waves interfering with each other, 'white' means costructive interference, while 'black' means destructive interference (because black is absence of colors, so this means that the waves cancel each other out). In this problem, we see that point X, Y and X are white, therefore they are point of constructive interference, where the waves strengthen each other.

If the field is in a vacuum, the magnetic field is the dominant factor determining the motion. Since the magnetic force is perpendicular to the direction of travel, a charged particle follows a curved path in a magnetic field. The particle continues to follow this curved path until it forms a complete circle. Another way to look at this is that the magnetic force is always perpendicular to velocity, so that it does no work on the charged particle. The particle’s kinetic energy and speed thus remain constant. The direction of motion is affected but not the speed.

A negatively charged particle moves in the plane of the paper in a region where the magnetic field is perpendicular to the paper (represented by the small × ’s—like the tails of arrows). The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity, so velocity changes in direction but not magnitude. The result is uniform circular motion.
