Answer: Reflector

Explanation:

A reflector is a material that causes a wave to reflect back or bounce off. It is a surface or barrier on which which incident wave bounces off. A mirror is good example of a light reflector. A mirror is made of glass coated with lustrous metal at the back. Light bounces off its surface and we can see our image.

A ray of light passes from air into a block of clear plastic. How does the angle of incidence in the air compare to the angle of
andre [41]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.

When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where :

n_1 is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

n_2 is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

\theta_1 is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

\theta_2 is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:

n_1=1.00 (index of refraction of air)

n_2=1.50 approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)

Snell's Law can be rewritten as

sin \theta_2 =\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1

And since n_2>n_1, we have

\frac{n_1}{n_2}

And so

\theta_2

Which means that

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Which telescopes must be placed in orbit around earth in order to observe short-wavelength radiation?.
son4ous [18]

Space telescopes must be placed in orbit around earth in order to observe short-wavelength radiation.

<h3>What is telescope?</h3>

A telescope is an optical instrument that uses lenses, curved mirrors, or a combination of both to watch distant objects.

When atoms in a gas reach this temperature, they travel so quickly that when they collide, they release X-ray photons with wavelengths smaller than 10 nanometers.

Because the Earth's atmosphere prevents all X-rays from space, these wavelengths must be seen using space telescopes.

To study short-wavelength radiation, space telescopes must be put in orbit around the Earth.

Hence, space telescope is the correct answer.

To learn more about the telescope, refer:

Does anyone know how to solve this?
FromTheMoon [43]
Yes. There is a substantial number of people ... members of Brainly as well as non-members ... students, puzzle solvers, and just average educated thinkers, who would be able to solve it.

An electric toaster is rated 1200 watts at 120 volts. what is the total electrical energy used to operate the toaster for 30 sec
Anarel [89]
Energy is calculated as power*time, so give the wattage of 1200 W (equivalent to 1200 Joules/second) and time of 30 seconds, multiplying these gives 36000 J or 36 kJ of electrical energy.

If electrical charge or current is needed: Power = voltage * current, so given the power of 1200 watts and voltage of 120 V, current is 1200 W / 120 V = 10 Amperes. Charge is calculated by multiplying 10 A*30 s = 300 C.
