The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are equal,
and they're both defined as the angle between the light ray
and the normal (perpendicular) to the mirror.

If the light ray comes in at an angle of 50° to the mirror, then the
angle of incidence is (90° - 50°) = 40°, the angle of reflection is
also 40°, and the light ray is redirected through a total angle of 80°.

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

θ = 4.716 10⁻⁶ rad

Explanation:

In order for the releases to be considered separate, they must meet the Rayleigh criterion that establishes that the maximum diffraction of one star must coincide with the first minimum of the diffraction pattern of the second star.

We use the diffraction equation for a slit

            a sin θ = m λ

The minimum occurs at m = 1

             sin θ = λ / a

Since the angles in these systems are very small, we can approximate the sine to its angle in radians

             θ = λ / a

The telescope has a circular aperture whereby polar cords should be used, which introduces a constant number

           θ = 1.22 λ / a

Let's calculate

          θ = 1.22 518 10⁻⁹ / 13.4 10⁻²

          θ = 4.716 10⁻⁶ rad

8. What current flows through a 1.15 kW electric fire at a potential difference of
Vilka [71]

Answer:

I = 5[amp]

Explanation:

Electrical power is defined as the product of voltage by current.

P=V*I

where:

P = power = 1150 [W]

V = voltage = 230 [V]

I = current [amp]

Now replacing:

1150=230*I\\I=1150/230\\I=5[amp]

A 15 [amp] fuse must be used. Always the fuse must be larger than the operating current, to protect the equipment from very high currents. above 15 [amp]

Recalculate 100 km/h to m/s
qwelly [4]

= 27.777

Explanation:

A kilometer has 1,000 meters, and an hour has 3,600 seconds, so 100 kilometers per hour is: 100 x 1,000 / 3,600 = 27.777... m/s.
