3

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

refractive index

focal point

angle of incidence

90°


Solution

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.


4

Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?

47% Answer Correctly

asteroids contain frozen water

comets orbit the Sun

asteroids have a coma

comets have an atmosphere


Solution

A comet is a loose collection of ice, dust, and small rocky particles that, in contrast to an asteroid, has an extended atmosphere surrounding the center. When passing close to the Sun, this atmosphere warms and begins to release gases forming a visible coma or tail.


5

What is the body's largest artery?

73% Answer Correctly

Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle.
