Answer:

2) Earth

Explanation:

As per Kepler's first law we know that all planets and all satellites revolves in elliptical path with one of its focii as Sun or planet around which satellite and planets are revolving.

Now here we need to know about the focii of moon which is revolving around Earth in its elliptical path.

So as per same law we can say that since moon is revolving around the Earth so its focii must be Earth

So here correct answer would be

2) Earth

The question is oversimplified, and pretty sloppy.

Relative to the Earth . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around us, with a period of
27.32... days, and with the Earth at one focus of the ellipse.

Relative to the Sun . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a period
of 365.24... days, and with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse,
and the Moon itself makes little dimples or squiggles in its orbit
on account of the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.

I'm sorry if that seems complicated.  You know that motion is
always relative to something, and the solar system is not simple.

Sound with a frequency of 1250 Hz leaves a room through a doorway with a width of 1.05 m.At what minimum angle relative to the c
kiruha [24]

Answer:

15.19°, 31.61°, 51.84°

Explanation:

We need to fin the angle for m=1,2,3

We know that the expression for wavelenght is,

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

Substituting,

\lambda = \frac{344}{1250}

\lambda = 0.2752m

Once we have the wavelenght we can find the angle by the equation of the single slit difraction,

sin\theta = \frac{m \lambda}{W}

Where,

W is the width

m is the integer

\lambda the wavelenght

Re-arrange the expression,

\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{m\lambda}{W}

For m=1,

\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{1 (0.2752)}{1.05}= 15.19\°

For m=2,

\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{2 (0.2752)}{1.05}= 31.61\°

For m=3,

\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{3 (0.2752)}{1.05}= 51.84\°

<em>The angle of diffraction is directly proportional to the size of the wavelength.</em>

Light propagating in the glass n1= 1.65 wall of an aquarium tank strikes the interior edge of the wall with incidence angle 19.0
jonny [76]
We can solve this using Snell's Law which is represented by the equation:
sin θ₁ / sin θ₂ = n₂ / n₁

From the problem, we can substitute values and solve for the angle of refraction.
sin 19 / sin θ₂ = 1.65 / 1
θ₂ = 11.38°

The angle of refraction would be 11.38°.
