    What will happen if angle of incidence on a glass slab is 0?

    I have a conceptual doubt. pl help me clarify it: What will happen if angle of incidence on a glass slab is 0? will refraction take place, or reflection, or both?

    Normally, water is a liquid but hydrogen sulphide a gas. Why?

    oxygen has smaller size and higher electronegativity than Sulphur. This results in strong H- bonding which does not exist in Sulphur.

    Undergrad Help with Coherent Wave Questions

    Hi guys. Was studying waves and got a bit confused. Pl help me out. Coherent sources are those which produce waves of same frequency, wavelength and velocity. Amplitude need not necessarily be same. Am I right? There's another doubt in my mind... If two waves produce beats then which of the...

    Angular momentum in projectile motion

    Homework Statement Is angular momentum of a projectile in projectile motion conserved ?[/B]Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution Gravitional force vector is acting along direction of displacement vector. Thus external torque is 0. Thus angular momentum is conserved throughout projectile...

    Undergrad Two satellites A and B move around earth in a circular orbit

    Two satellites A and B move around Earth in a circular orbit. The mass of B is twice the mass of A then I agree that kinetic energy of B is greater than that of A. But what I couldn't understand was that why are speeds of A and B equal as given in the book. Shouldn't they differ according to the...
