Answer:

1. Light is electromagnetic waves while sound is mechanical.

Light wave is transverse and sound is longitudinal.

Explanation:

2.

<i = <r

3.

when distance between source and obstacle and distance between obstacle and screen is finite then the diffraction is fresnal diffraction

when distance between source and obstacle and distance between obstacle and screen is infinite then the diffraction is Fraunhofer's diffraction

A watering can is most likely measured in which metric unit
Iteru [2.4K]
A watering can is used to hold a water that we will use to water the plants. The water has both mass and volume. Two watering cans are most often different by the volume they contain. 

Many various units for volume are used but most often used unit is liter. In a metric system basic units are those such as meter, kilogram and liter while in imperial system units used are those such as foote, inch, pound and gallon.

Unit for volume in metric system is cubic meter. It is equal to a volume of a cube whose all sides measure 1m. This is equal to 1000L. For watering cans that contain several liters units used is decimeter cubed. 1dm^3 = 1L

When monochromatic light passes through the interface between two unknown materials at an angle θ where 0∘&lt;θ&lt;90∘, no chang
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

the correct one is the first,   the refractive index of the two materials must be the same

Explanation:

When a beam of light passes through two materials, it must comply with the law of refraction

         n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where n₁ and n₂ are the refractive indices of each medium.

In this case, it indicates that the light does not change direction, so the input and output angle of the interface must be the same,

       θ₁ = θ₂ = θ

substituting

          n₁ = n₂

therefore the refractive index of the two materials must be the same
