This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A woman is 160cm tall. What is the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright.

Hint: Consider the ray diagram below, of the rays that enable her to see her feet and the top of her head.

Use what you know about the law of reflection, together with a bit geometry.

The missing Image is uploaded along this answer below.

Answer:

the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright is 80 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and illustrated in the image below,

From image 2;

The distance from the woman's eyes to the top of her head is represented as b and a represent the distance from her eyes to her feet.

Therefore, since her height is 160 cm

a + b = 160 ------ let this be equation 1

i.e AD + DG = 160 cm

Now, from the same image 2, we will notice that triangle ABC and tringle CBD are similar, so

∠ABC = ∠CBD

AC = CD

since AD = a and AC + CD = A

AC = CD = a/2

Also, triangle DEF and FEG are si,ilar

∠DEF = ∠FEG

so

DF = FG

since DG = b and DF + FG = b

DF = b/2

so the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which the woman can see her entire body while standing upright will be;

⇒ a/2 + b/2  

⇒ a + b / 2

from equation 1, a + b = 160

so

⇒ a + b / 2 = 160 / 2 = 80

Therefore, the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright is 80 cm

How long would it take to travel 10 light years at the speed of light?
Vladimir79 [104]

A light year is the DISTANCE light travels through vacuum in 1 year.

If light is traveling through vacuum, then it's traveling at the speed of light in vacuum. If a student at home at the beginning of the trip is holding the clock, then ...

Traveling 1 light year takes 1 year.

Traveling 2 light years takes 2 years.

Traveling 3 light years takes 3 years.

Traveling 10 light years takes 10 years.

If the light is traveling through some other substance, or if the clock is traveling along with the light, then these numbers all change.

YOU cannot travel at the speed of light. We have to just leave it at that

ehidna [41]
Use the Inverse square law, Intensity (I)<span> of a light </span>is inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d).

I=1/(d*d)

Let Intensity for lamp 1 is L1 distance be D1 so on, L2 D2 for Intensity for lamp 2 and its distance.

L1/L2=(D2*D2)/(D1*D1)

L1/15=(200*200)/(400*400)
L1=15*0.25
L1=3.75 <span>candela</span>

When and where did the first nuclear reactor generate electricity
masha68 [24]
<h2>Answer: On December 20th, 1951 in Idaho, United States. </h2>

The world's first experimental nuclear power plant was the Experimental Breeder Reactor Number One (EBR-I), which was built in a desert in Idaho, United States.

This reactor made history when, on December 20th, 1951, four 200-watt light bulbs were illuminated by means of atomic energy, specifically by nuclear fission reaction.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

Answer is C. Both technicians A and B.

Refer below.

Explanation:

Two technicians are discussing the testing of a catalytic converter. Technician A says that a vacuum gauge can be used and observed to see if the vacuum drops with the engine at 2500 RPM for 30 seconds. Technician B says that a pressure gauge can be used to check for backpressure. The following technician is correct:

Both technicians A and B
