Answer:

Angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Explanation:

Reflection is defined as the repropagation of light rays incident on a surface. An incident light is a light striking the surface of a plane mirror at an angle to the mirror. This incident light will reflect out at the same angle it strikes the plane. This angle is known as the angle of glance (g). The ray perpendicular to the plane surface is called the normal ray.

Therefore, the angle between the incident ray and the normal ray will be the angle of incidence (i) and the angle between the reflected ray and the normal ray will be the angle of reflection (r). Since the angle the incident ray made with the plane surface is equal to the angle that the reflected ray made with the plane surface then our angle of incidence will also be equal to the angle of reflection according to the second law of reflection i.e i=r.

i = r = 90°-g

You hear a sound with a frequency of 256 Hz. The amplitude of the sound increases and decreases periodically: it takes 2 seconds

To solve this problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to frequency and period, and how they are related to each other.

The relationship that defines both agreements is given by the equation,

$f_{beat}=\frac{1}{T}$

Then the frequency for the previous period given (2sec) is

$f_{beat}=\frac{1}{2}$

$f_{beat} = 0.5Hz$

The beat frequency of two frequencies is equal to the difference between the two frequencies, then

$f_{beat} = |f_1-f_2|\\f_{beat} = |256Hz-2Hz|\\f_{beat} = 254Hz$

Hence option A is incorrect.

We can do this process for 254Hz as $f_1$ and 258 Hz for $f_2$ , then

$f_{beat} =|254Hz-258Hz|$

$f_{beat} = 4Hz$

Hence option B is incorrect.

We can also do this process for 255Hz as $f_1$ and 257 Hz for $f_2$ , then

$f_{beat} =|255Hz-257Hz|$

$f_{beat} = 2Hz$

Hence option C is incorrect.

We can also do this process for 255.5Hz as f_1 and 256.5 Hz for f_2, then

$f_{beat} =|255.5Hz-256.5Hz|\\f_{beat} = 1Hz$

Hence option D is incorrect.

We can also do this process for 255.75Hz as $f_1$ and 256.25 Hz for $f_2$ , then

$f_{beat} =|255.75Hz-256.25Hz|\\f_{beat} = 0.5Hz$

Hence option E is incorrect.

Therefore the sum of the frequencies in the sound wave would be 256.25Hz and 255.75Hz

Which is likely to be more common in our Galaxy: white dwarfs or black holes? Why?

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

White dwarfs are likely to be much more common. The number of stars decreases with increasing mass, and only the most massive stars are likely to complete their lives as black holes. There are many more stars of the masses appropriate for evolution to a white dwarf.

Why are unit of length mass and time independent with each other?

mariarad [96]

Масса (килограмм), длина (метр) и время (секунда) - это 3 из 7 основных единиц в системе СИ.

Базовые единицы произвольно определены как то, что они есть, поэтому они не могут быть получены.

Все другие единицы в системе СИ являются производными от 7 основных единиц, таких как скорость (метр / секунда).

Остальные 4 - это температура (Кельвин), количество вещества (моль), электрический ток (ампер) и светимость (кандела).

Why does lifting one end of the track lead to constant acceleration?

Rainbow [258]

We put a motion detector at one end of the track and put a cart on the track. ... Next, we put a motorized fan on the cart and let it push the cart down the track. ... This is what I would expect based on the velocity graph, since acceleration equals the slope of the velocity graph, which remainsconstant in time.
