<h3><u>Answer and explanation;</u></h3>
Reflection;
- Bounces back from an opaque material
- Bounces back from the boundary of two mediums
- Seen in mirrors
Refraction;
- Passes through a prism
- Moves from one medium to another
- Seen in lenses
Reflection refers to the bouncing of waves such as light waves. It involves a change in direction of waves when they bounce off a barrier.
Refraction is the bending of waves when they move from one medium to another. It involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another.
Answer:
a) Therefore 2.6km is greater than 2.57km.
Statement A is greater than statement B.
b) Therefore 5.7km is equal to 5.7km
Statement A is equal to statement B
Explanation:
a) Statement A : 2.567km to two significant figures.
2.567km 2. S.F = 2.6km
Statement B : 2.567km to three significant figures.
2.567km 3 S.F = 2.57km
Therefore 2.6km is greater than 2.57km.
Statement A is greater than statement B.
b) statement A: (2.567 km + 3.146km) to 2 S.F
(2.567km + 3.146km) = 5.713km to 2 S.F = 5.7km
Statement B : (2.567 km, to two significant figures) + (3.146 km, to two significant figures).
2.567km to 2 S.F = 2.6km
3.146km to 2 S.F = 3.1km
2.6km + 3.1km = 5.7km
Therefore 5.7km is equal to 5.7km
Statement A is equal to statement B
