When a ray passes through two parallel slabs what will be the angle of deviation?
It depends on (a) the angle of incidence, and (b) the relative refractive indices of the slabs as well as the medium on either side of them and between them.
What is Law of the sine?
The law of sines is a statement about arbitrary triangles in the plane.The law of sines states that in any right triangle, the ratio of the opposite side length to the length of the hypotenuse (relative to an acute angle) is always relative to the size of the angle. Put more simply, it means that if you take the sine of an angle, the value will be equal to the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse. The practical application of this is when you know the length of only one side and the measure of one angle (other than the right angle) you can determine the other sides and the remaining angle.The law of sines states that in any right triangle, the ratio of the opposite side length to the length of the hypotenuse (relative to an acute angle) is always relative to the size of the angle.

What is the angle that measures 170 degrees?
It is an obtuse angle. It is an obtuse angle. It is an obtuse angle. It is an obtuse angle.
What is the negation of angle a is a right angle?
It is: "angle a is not a right angle" or "angle a is greater than or less than a right angle".
Supplements of the same angle are congruent what's the best statement for reason 6 of this proof?
angle B and angle D are supplements, angle B is congruent to angle D, angle A is congruent to angle A, or angle A is congruent to angle C
What is the effect of density on the friction angle of sands?
The friction angle of the mixture increases the relative density.
What is meant by the Angle of incidence and Angle of reflection?
The angle of incidence and reflection are reference to of a line normal or perpendicular to a surface. The incidence angle is the incoming ray angle relative to the normal line and the reflection is the outgoing angle relative to the normal line. Both angles are in the plane containing the normal line and the incidence ray.
What is the angle of incidence if a plane mirror has an angle of 20?
The answer depends on knowing what the plane mirror hhas a 20-degree angle relative to!
Explain the technical terms of a slip angle?
the angle relative to the wheel and chassis turning around corners
What is the relative angle between two celestial bodies?
This is often measured as something called the "position angle".
What is the name for the relative angle between 2 celestial bodies?
aspect
Where can you find a website showing not the phases of the moon but the relative placement of the moon in the sky?
The relative position in the sky (relative to the Sun) is completely related to the phase. For example, at full moon the Moon will be opposite the Sun (an angle of almost 180 degrees), at new moon it will be near the Sun (an angle near zero degrees), and at half-moon it will be at a 90 degrees angle.
What is light reflected at after hitting a mirror?
Light hitting a flat mirror at an angle is reflected at the same angle, relative to the mirror surface.
Definition of angle indicator?
Means a device which measures the angle of the boom relative to horizontal. Enable to determine measurements to a precision degree.
What is the interior angle of a pentagon in spherical geometry?
The answer depends on the curvature relative to the size of the pentagon.
What are two angles formed by the beam of light as it bends its way into and out of the prism?
The angle of incidence and the angle of refraction, both measured relative to a normal to the surface
Is an angle made up of 2 rays and why?
It's true, an angle is made up of two rays. Two rays meet at a point, and their relative position at the point where they meet will define an angle.
