Question

A rainbow forms when sunlight reflects off raindrops at different angles. For the blue light, the measure of angle 2 is 40 degrees. What is the measure of angle 1.

Answer 1

hello,
a angle is formed on a line of 180 degrees, so what your going to want to do it since your first angle is 40 degrees subtract 40-180= 140.

angle 2 is 40 degrees

hope that helped good luck

Answer 2

The measure of angle 1 is 40 degrees.

Explanation:

Given that a rainbow forms when sunlight reflects off raindrops at different angles. Here, the process of reflection occurs. According to the laws of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

For the blue light, the measure of angle 2 is 40 degrees. Here the law of reflection will be used. So, the measure of angle 1 is as same as 40 degrees.

Hence, this is the required solution.
