I do not know what the school expects as an answer, but advantage of reflecting telescopes is that there is only one major reflecting surface, so it is quite easy to create a 6 or 8 inch telescope by an amateur, after adding on a prism and an eyepiece. (a microscope eyepiece could be used).
MY answer would be "easier to build". (it still takes tens of hours to grind and polish the single plane surface to a parabolic surface).

Electromagnetic waves all have the same velocity in the same medium. However, since frequencies vary widely, so do wavelengths.

The x vector component of a displacement vector has a magnitude of 86.2 m and points along the negative x axis. The y vector com

Flauer [41]

Answer:

(a) Magnitude of Vector = 207.73 m

(b) Direction = 65.48°

Explanation:

(a)

The formula to find out the magnitude of a resultant vector with the help of its x and y components is given as follows:

$Magnitude\ of\ Vector = \sqrt{d_{x}^{2} + d_{y}^{2}} = \sqrt{(86.2\ m)^{2} + (189\ m)^{2}}\\\\$

Magnitude of Vector = 207.73 m

(b)

For the direction of the vector we have the formula:

$Direction = tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})\\\\Direction = tan^{-1}(\frac{189\ m}{86.2\ m})\\\\$

Direction = 65.48°

What does a magnetic field look like

Lelechka [254]

Answer:Magnetic fields are invisible, at least usually. But scientists from NASA's Space Sciences Laboratory have made them visible as "animated photographs," using sound-controlled CGI and 3D compositing.
