Answer: b.focusing light through a camera lens

Explanation:

Reflection is an optical phenomenon in which light bounces off an opaque surface on which it falls.

A mirror is formed of glass which has highly lustrous metal coated at the back. The light bounces of the surface. The image forms behind the mirror. The image is formed at the same distance as object and of the same height.

A still lake also acts as a mirror. Thus, reflection takes place from its surface and the image can be seen.

We are able to see objects when light from some source bounces off it and reaches our eye. Thus, reflection occurs here.

But, in case of camera lens, the light passes through a converging lens focuses at a point. Here, the phenomenon of refraction occurs not reflection.

If you have 100 W expended over 20 s how much energy did it take?

netineya [11]

Power = (work or energy) / (time)

100 W = (energy) / (20 sec)

Energy = 2,000 watt-sec

<em>Energy = 2,000 J</em>

An object dropped from rest from the top of a tall building on planet x falls a distance d(t)18 left parenthesis t right parenth

melamori03 [73]

displacement is given by equation

$d = 18t^2$

now at t = 5 s the position is

$d_1 = 18 *5^2 = 450 m$

similarly position at t = 9 s

$d_2 = 18*9^2 = 1458 m$

so the displacement of object in given interval of time will be

$d = 1458 - 450 = 1008 m$

time interval

$\delta t = 9 - 5 = 4 s$

now the average velocity will be given as

$v = \frac{\delta x}{\delta t}$

$v = \frac{1008}{4} = 252 m/s$

so its average speed is 252 m/s

A wave is incident on the surface of a mirror at an angle of 41° with the normal. what can you say about its angle of reflection

Umnica [9.8K]

It's angle of reflection must be 41 degrees

we know, by the first law of reflection that angle of incidence is always equal to angle of reflection..........

Talja [164]

Answer:

130.5

Explanation:

According to the stemplot attached (Which I think it is, and if not, then you only need to replace the procedure with your data and you should be fine), you need to calculate first the points of all ten students. In that plot, we can easily calculate the points.

The first number in the colum represents the centen of the point, while the numbers of the second column, represents the units of that centen, for example if you see:

16 | 8 5 6

This means that the point for the students are 168, 165 and 166. Three students, three points.

If you watch the stemplot, the points for the students are:

116, 118, 121, 124, 128, 133, 137, 142, 146 and 179.

The median can be calculated using the mean between the two values in the middle of the sequence.

In this case, half of ten is 5, so, the numbers from the middle in this sequence are 128 and 133, therefore:

Median = 128 + 133 / 2 = 130.5
