When the Moon passes between Sun and Earth, the lunar shadow is seen as a solar eclipse on Earth. When Earth passes directly between Sun and Moon, its shadow creates a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses can only happen when the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky, a monthly occurrence we know as a full Moon.

The law of reflection is quite useful for mirrors and other flat, shiny surfaces. (This sort of reflection is called specular re
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose initially the plane was horizontal and light was reflected back at some angle θ from the normal .

Now the reflecting surface is twisted so that is becomes inclined at angle alpha .

The reflected light will be deviated from its original direction by angle

2 x alpha .

Similarly when the reflecting surface is further twisted so that it becomes inclined at angle beta then again the reflected beam will deviated by angle

2 x beta

Hence angle between these two reflected beam

= 2 beta - 2 alpha

= 2 ( β - α )

So, angular separation between the rays reflected from the two surfaces

= 2 ( β - α ) .

Describe the differences among ultraviolet waves, visible light waves, and infrared waves. how are these waves alike?
sergeinik [125]
Our eyes are detectors which are designed to detect visible light waves (or visible radiation). ... The electromagnetic spectrum includes gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves. The only difference between these different types of radiation is their wavelength or frequency.

Which statements accurately describe the Doppler effect? Select three options.
Katena32 [7]

Answer:The answer is A,B and C

Explanation: it can be use to learn universe behavior,it is also use for the measurements of velocity of galaxy,and is can also be use to indicate,galaxy motion.

Doppler effect,measures the speed which star and galaxy are moving away from us or towards us. It shows the color of wavelength to be either red shift or blue shift.
