How does a mirror affect the path of light?

1 answer:

8 0

Light rays change direction when they hit a mirror. The phenomenon is known as reflection. Light rays travels in a straight light. They strike the surface of the mirror at a particular angle called incident angle. It is the angle between the ray and normal at the point of contact. The rays leaves the surface making the same angle with the normal called reflection angle but in different direction.

How is grounding a positive object different from grounding a negative object?

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Grounding a Positively Charged Object

Electrons were transferred from the electroscope to the ground. As in the case of grounding a negatively charged electroscope, the grounding of a positively charged electroscope involves charge sharing. The excess positive charge is shared between the electroscope and the ground.

In this problem, you will apply kinematic equations to a jumping flea. Take the magnitude of free-fall acceleration to be 9.80m/

polet [3.4K]

V o - initial velocity
v = velocity at the maximum height,
v² = v o² - 2 g h
v = 0
0 = v o² - 2 g h
v o² = 2 g h = 2 · 9.80 · 0.460
v o² = 9.052
v o = √9.052 = 3.004197 m/s ≈ 3 m/s

A string with a mass density of 3 * 10^-3 kg/m is under a tension of 380 N and is fixed at both ends. One of its resonance frequ

Delvig [45]

Answer:

(a) the fundamental frequency of this string is 65 Hz

(b) the harmonics of the given frequencies are third and fourth respectively.

Explanation:

Given;

mass density of the string, μ = 3 x 10⁻³ kg/m

tension of the string, T = 380 N

resonating frequencies, 195 Hz and 260 N

For the given resonant frequencies;

$195 = \frac{n}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } ---(1)\\\\260 = \frac{n+1}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } ---(2)\\\\divide \ (2) \ by (1)\\\\\frac{260}{195} = \frac{n+1 }{n} \\\\260n = 195(n+1)\\\\260 n = 195 n + 195\\\\260n - 195n = 195\\\\65n = 195\\\\n = \frac{195}{65} \\\\n = 3$

$195 = \frac{n}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\195 = \frac{3}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{380}{3\times 10^{-3}} } \\\\l = \frac{3}{2\times 195}\sqrt{\frac{380}{3\times 10^{-3}} }\\\\l = 2.74 \ m$
