<u>[Reflection]</u>
- This occurs when light bounces off a surface (reflection is when light bounces off of something, a medium, but doesn't go through.)
- Best with a smooth surface (it is easiest for light to bounce off when the surface is smooth)
- If not for this behavior, mirrors wouldn't work (mirrors use reflection, if they did not you would not be able to see your <em>reflection</em>)
<u>[Refraction]</u>
- Light moves from one medium to another (when light moves from one medium to another, it refracts)
- Lenses in your glasses to bend light waves (refraction is all about bending light waves, so this option falls under this category)
- Microscopes and telescopes take advantage of this behavior of light (again, refraction is bending light waves. When you bend a light wave, it can make it easier to see [larger, smaller, etc] so this option is refraction)
- Light wave changes speed (light does not change speed when being reflected because it is in the same medium and just bouncing, but it refraction is changes mediums so it will bend and change speed)
[Note]
- Some of these can be figured out by knowing the definitions. For example, refraction is defined as "change in direction ... of any wave as a result of its traveling at different speeds at different points along the wave front" (Oxf/ord Languages)

Answer:
Height of the building = 11.4 m
Explanation:
As we know that the stone is projected at an angle 46 degree with speed 8.65 m/s
so the two components of the speed is given as
vertical component of the speed is given as
now we know that the ball strike at horizontal distance of 13.7 m
so we will have
now we know that in vertical direction ball will move under uniform gravity so we can use kinematics
Height of the building = 11.4 m
Answer:
negative acceleration of 4m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity = 66m/s
Final velocity = 26m/s
Time taken = 10s
Unknown:
Description of the acceleration = ?
Solution:
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.
It is mathematically expressed as;
acceleration = 
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
t is the time taken
Now insert the parameters and solve;
Acceleration = 
= -4m/s²
So, we see a negative acceleration of 4m/s²
