Answer: When mirror reflects a ray of light, the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection ( ∠i= ∠r).

When ray of light falls on a reflecting surface, it is sent back by that surface. This is called reflection of light. The light ray falling on the surface is the incident ray whereas the ray reflected by the surface is called reflected ray.

When a line is drawn (at the point of incident ray) perpendicular to the plane of mirror, the angle formed by incident ray with the normal (perpendicular line) is called angle of incidence and the angle formed by the ray that is reflected is called angle of reflection.

As per the second law of reflection-

Angle of incidence is always equivalent to the reflected angle.

∠i= ∠r

Explanation:

It is given that, the field near a typical pulsed-field machine rises from 0 T to 2.5 T in 200 μs

Change in magnetic field, $dB=2.5\ T$

Change in time, $dt=200\ \mu s=200\times 10^{-6}\ s=2\times 10^{-4}\ s$

Diameter, d = 2.3 cm

Radius, r = 0.0115 m

Emf is induced in the ring as the field changes. It is given by :

$E=\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

$E=\dfrac{d(B.A\ cos(0))}{dt}$

$E=A\dfrac{d(B)}{dt}$

$E=\pi (0.0115)^2\dfrac{2.5}{2\times 10^{-4}}$

E = 5.19 volts

So, the emf induced in the ring is 5.19 volts. Hence, this is the required solution.

An accelerating voltage of 2.47 x 10^3 V is applied to an electron gun, producing a beam of electrons originally traveling horiz

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

6.3445×10⁻¹⁶ m

Explanation:

E = Accelerating voltage = 2.47×10³ V

m = Mass of electron

Distance electron travels = 33.5 cm = 0.335 cm

$E=\frac{mv^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 2470\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}}\\\Rightarrow v=29455356.08671\ m/s$

Deflection by Earth's Gravity

$\Delta =\frac {gt^2}{2}$

Now, Time = Distance/Velocity

$\Delta =\frac {g\frac{s^2}{v^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta =\frac{9.81\frac{0.335^2}{29455356.08671^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta =6.3445\times 10^{-16}\ m$

∴ Magnitude of the deflection on the screen caused by the Earth's gravitational field is 6.3445×10⁻¹⁶ m

Does natural selection produce a change in individuals or populations?

butalik [34]

Explanation:

Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that they are all different in some ways. This variation means that some individuals have traits better suited to the environment than others
