Answer:
As waves get closer to a beach they decrease in height.
Explanation:
As a wave crest approaches the shoreline, it is usual that one end of the line is closer to the shoreline than the other. The implication of this is that the energy in a wave is also spread over quite a larger area,this in turn reduces the height of the waves. In other words, refraction often makes waves smaller.
Waves are caused by wind. Wave height in the open ocean is determined by three factors. The greater the wind speed the larger the waves. The greater the duration of the wind (or storm) the larger the waves. The greater the fetch (area over which the wind is blowing - size of storm) the larger the waves.
'Frequency' is a word that often confuses some people ... for no good reason.
It just means "frequent-ness" or "often-ness" ... how often something happens.
The SI unit of frequency is the Hertz (Hz). Hz means 'per second'.
So " 13 Hz " means 13 per second.
Here are examples of frequency:
-- 780 kilohertz (on your AM radio dial)
-- 98.7 Megahertz (on your FM dial)
-- 5.8 Gigahertz
-- twice a day
-- three per week
-- every 6 months
So we want to know what is the magnitude of the horizontal component of acceleration ah if we know that the overall acceleration a=12 m/s^2 and the angle of overall acceleration and the horizontal acceleration is α=50°. We know that ah=a*cosα. So now it isn't hard to get the horizontal component: ah=12*cos50=12*0.64=7.71 m/s^2. So the correct answer is ah=7.71 m/s^2.
Should be true.

Answer:
<h2>index of refraction = 1.69</h2><h2>percentage error = 10.58%</h2>
Explanation:
According to Snell's law, the ratio of the sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is a constant for a given pair of media. The constant is known as the refractive index.
Mathematically 
i = angle of incidence measured = 63.5°
r = angle of refraction measured = 32°
n = refractive index
The index fraction calculated is approx. 1.69.
If the index of refraction of a clear plastic as listed in the book is 1.89 and the calculated is 1.69, the percentage error will be calculated as thus;
%error = 
%error = 
%error = 
%error = 10.58%
