Answer:
1.Write out your sentence clearly and legibly. Then, try writing the text backward, starting on the right side of the paper. You can keep writing the sentence 3-5 times to feel out the technique. For example, write "I am learning to mirror write," on the left side of the page.
2.As you sight at the portion of the pencil that was submerged in the water, light travels from water to air (or from water to glass to air). This light ray changes medium and subsequently undergoes refraction. As a result, the image of the pencil appears to be broken.
3.The water waves (or ripples) formed on the surface of water in pond are also transverse waves because in a water wave, the molecules of water move up and down in the vertical direction when the wave travels in horizontal direction along the water surface.
4. of water was exposed to sunlight?You will see a rainbow.
5.A person who shouts while hiking in a canyon is likely to hear an echo. What wave behavior explains this phenomenon? In general, the higher the frequency of the interfering waves creating a standing wave, the greater the number of nodes and antinodes.
