3

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

focal point

angle of incidence

refractive index

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

What part of the nervous system controls simple reflexes?

54% Answer Correctly

spinal cord

autonomic

cerebrum

medulla


Solution

The spinal cord connects the brain to the body's network of nerves. It carries impulses between all organs and the brain and controls simple reflexes.


5

Absolute zero is which of the following?

57% Answer Correctly

the coldest temperature possible in the universe

the freezing point of oxygen

0°C

the freezing point of hydrogen


Solution

In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.
