Total internal reflection occurs when a propagated wave strikes a medium boundary at an angle larger than a particular critical angle with respect to the normal to the surface. <span>Total internal reflection can be observed while swimming, when one opens one's eyes just under the water's surface. If the water is calm, its surface appears mirror-like.</span>

jeyben [28]

Answer:

λ₁ = 2.50 10⁻² m,   λ₂ = 1.66 10⁻² m  

Explanation:

Microwave communication is very efficient because it does not have atmospheric interference, for which it is widely used and has been regulated to avoid interference, the ku band is in the range between 12 and 18 GHz.

Let's calculate the wavelength for the two extreme frequencies of this band

wavelength and frequency are related

         c = λ f

          λ = c / f

f₁ = 12 GHz = 12 10⁹ Hz

          λ₁ = 3 10⁸ /12 10⁹

           λ₁ = 2.50 10⁻² m

f₂ = 18 GHz = 18 10⁹ Hz

          λ₂ = 3 10⁸ /18 10⁹

          λ₂ = 1.66 10⁻² m

Unfortunately in your exercise the specific frequency is not fired, for significant figures they must be the same number as the figures of the frequency, in general the frequency has 3 or 4 significant figures

Object will only form shadow if it won't reflect light.
That is, stone will form shadow as it reflects light.
Hope this helps you.

Two small frogs simultaneously leap straight up from a lily pad. Frog A leaps with an initial velocity of 0.551 m/s, while frog
goblinko [34]

Answer:

d = .076 m

Explanation:

The time for frog A can be calculated from  equation of motion

v_f = v_o + at

where v_f is final velocity, a is acceleration due to gravity

so from given data we have

-0.551= 0.551 + (-9.8)(t)

t = 0.112 sec

Now we will use that time for frog B

v_f = v_o + at

v_f = 1.23 + (-9.8)(0.112)

v_f = 0.128 m/s(Note its positive)

For the displacement

s = v_o t + 0.5at^2

s = (1.23)(0.112) + (.5)(-9.8)(0.112)^2

d = .076 m
