Answer: The mirror that causes light to spread out is convex mirror

Explanation:

There are 2 types of spherical mirror:

Convex mirror is defined as the mirror which diverges the light falling on it. It is considered as a diverging mirror. They spread out the light falling on it.
Concave mirror is defined as the mirror which converges the light falling on it. It is considered as a converging mirror. They spread in the light falling on it.

Plane mirror is defined as the plane reflecting mirror. The image produced by it is virtual, upright and of the same size and shape as that of the object.

Hence, the mirror that causes light to spread out is convex mirror

Guillaume puts a bottle of soft drink in a refrigerator and leaves it there until its temperature has dropped 15.1 K.

Zarrin [17]

Answer: (a) The magnitude of its temperature change in degrees Celsius is $15.1^{o}C$ .

(b) The magnitude of the temperature change (change in T = 15.1 K) in degrees Fahrenheit is $27.2^{o}F$ .

Explanation:

(a) Expression for change in temperature is as follows.

$|\Delta T| = |x - y|K$

= 15.1 K

= $|(x - 273.15) - (y - 273.15)|^{o}C$

= $|x - y|^{o}C$

= $15.1^{o}C$

Therefore, the magnitude of its temperature change in degrees Celsius is $15.1^{o}C$ .

(b) Change in temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit is as follows.

F = 1.8C + 32

C = $\frac{F - 32}{1.8}$

Since, K = C + 273

or, $\Delta K = \Delta C = \frac{\Delta F}{1.8}$

$\Delta F = 1.8 \Delta K$

= 1.8 (15.1)

= $27.18^{o}F$

or, = $27.2^{o}F$

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of the temperature change (change in T = 15.1 K) in degrees Fahrenheit is $27.2^{o}F$ .

What does the straight line in a transverse wave represent

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Straight line in a transverse wave represents the mean position of oscillating energy parameter at which the instantaneous amplitude is zero.

Explanation:

A transverse wave is one in which the direction of propagation is perpendicular to the direction of oscillating energy vector.

The transverse wave having a horizontal straight line represents the line of zero amplitude of oscillation.

When in graphical representation the curve intercepts this horizontal line then the amplitude of the oscillation and the phase of the wave becomes whole number multiple of 2π and as we know that the periodic oscillations are represented as a sinusoidal function which leads the amplitude to zero.
