The reflected ray will be parallel to the principal axis, drawn from the point where the incident ray hit the mirror. 3. The top of the virtual image will be located where the two rays ...

At the current rate of increase, they will have reached 800 ppm by the end of the 21st century! Beyond 550 ppm it would not be liveable ...

Astronomy 82 - Problem Set #1
... (Note that we only have one significant figure in this problem!) So we see that the supernova had been expanding for about 900 years in 1983 – therefore the supernova must have been seen to explode around the year (1983 – 900) =1083 ~ 1100 AD. Again, this number is no secret – the Crab Nebula was ob ...
