Answer:

86degrrss

Explanation:

tan L =BC/AB

= 3/12 = 1/4

L= tan^-1 0.25

=4.0 degrees

= 90-4= 86degrees

Answer: 33.69 degrees

Explanation:

Given

Distance between the two mirrors, = 6 cm

Length of the two mirrors, = 24 cm

Assuming the laser is shone from just clear of the left edge of the bottom mirror,

a)

Tan L = (O/A)

Tan L = (6 / 12)

Tan L = 0.5

L = Tan^-1 (0.5)

L = 26.57 degrees

(90 - 26.57) = 63.43 deg. to the normal.

Tan L = (6 / [24/6])

Tan L = (6 / 4)

Tan L = 1.5

L = Tan^-1 (1.5)

L = 56.31 degrees

(90 - 56.31) = 33.69 deg. to the normal.

Thus, the angle at which, with respect to the mirror, the laser beam hits the mirrors in each way is 33.69 degrees

Alja [10]
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "B. color." The spectrum produced by a prism or a raindrop is evidence that the average speed of light in the material depends on the light's color. White light is being refracted into different colors.

What can cause the eruption from a shield volcano to become explosive?
Mice21 [21]

Answer: Shield volcano is a broad, gently sloping, explosive volcano which is comprised of basaltic magma.

Shield volcano is normally not explosive but if somehow water comes in contact with this basaltic magma, then it turns into a more violent, explosive volcanoes, producing pyroclastic materials such as lapilli, lava bombs and block.
