Answer:

140 Hz

Explanation:

Frequency is the reciprocal of period hence f=1/T

Here, the frequency is 140 times per second hence the period will be 1/140= 0.0071428571428 s

Rounded off to 3 significant figures then the period is 0.00714 s or 0.714 ms

Otherwise, the frequency is already given as 140 cycles per second which is equivalent to 140 Hz

Yes. Acceleration means any change in speed or direction of motion. When an object coasts in a circular orbit at constant speed around the Earth, its direction is constantly changing. The acceleration is "CENTRIPETAL", which points toward the center of the circle.

When reaching a boundary between two media (1 and 2), an incident ray is partially reflected and partially refracted. The ray is

lukranit [14]

Answer:

The angle of incidence when the reflected ray is perpendicular to the incident ray = 45°

Explanation:

According to Snell's Law,

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

When the angle between the incident ray and reflected ray is 90°, the angle of incidence is θ₁ and the angle of reflection, θ₂ = 90° - θ₁ and the index of refraction in the Snell's Law for both media would be the same, n₁ = n₂ = n

n sin θ₁ = n sin (90° - θ₁)

Note that from trigonometric relations,

Sin (90° - θ₁) = cos θ₁

n sin θ₁ = n cos θ₁

(sin θ₁)/(cos θ₁) = 1

tan θ₁ = 1

θ₁ = arctan 1 = 45°

Hope this Helps!!!
