Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves. The law of reflection says that for specular reflection the angle at which the wave is incident on the surface equals the angle at which it is reflected. Mirrors exhibit specular reflection.
Continuous. Discrete values are values like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. - they're values that are <em>distinct</em>, and typically there's some idea of a <em>next </em>and a <em>previous </em>value. When we're counting whole numbers, there's a definitive answer to which number comes after, and which number comes before. With continuous values, there's no real "next" or "last" value.
Motion is measured with <em>continuous </em>values; a train might move 300 yards in 1 minute, but we can look at smaller and smaller chunks of time to keep getting shorter and shorter distances. There is no <em />"next" distance the train moves after those 300 yards - it just doesn't make sense for there to be.
It's also measured <em>quantitatively</em>, not <em>qualitatively</em>. This just means that we can use numerical values to measure it, rather than other descriptors like color, smell, or taste.
Answer:
Explanation:
The power provided by a resistor (wire in this case) is given by:
.
The resistance of a wire is given by:
Where for the resistivity the one of the copper should be used: 
.
The area A is that of a circle, which written in terms of its diameter is:
Putting all together:
Which for our values is:
Answer:
The velocity of water at the bottom, 
Given:
Height of water in the tank, h = 12.8 m
Gauge pressure of water, 
Solution:
Now,
Atmospheric pressue, 
At the top, the absolute pressure, 
Now, the pressure at the bottom will be equal to the atmopheric pressure, 
The velocity at the top, 
, l;et the bottom velocity, be 
.
Now, by Bernoulli's eqn:
where
Density of sea water,
