capillary |
|
pulmonary |
|
aorta |

biome |
|
ecosystem |
|
population |
|
community |
An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. This includes both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living).
The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?
angle of incidence |
|
focal point |
|
90° |
|
refractive index |
The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
Which of the following would you find in the side view mirror of a car?
convex mirror |
|
concave mirror |
|
concave lens |
|
convex lens |
A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.

|
scurvy |
|
