Question
Chapter 29, Problem 33A
To determine
To Explain: The reason that the feet of bird are not visible in the reflection.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 33A
By the law of reflection, feet of bird are not visible in the reflection.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: Angle of reflection is equals to angle of incidence. Also, the law of reflection applies to both, totally reflected waves and partially reflected.
Explanation: According to the question, bird’s feet are out of view of the water. Therefore, they are not reflected as the rest of the body is.
Conclusion: Reflection is a transformation the shows flip of a figure.
