Occurrence in a Sentence 🔉

1. Haley’s Comet is an occurrence that takes place approximately every seventy-six years.
2. After hearing about the ghostly occurrence at the hotel, I decided to seek lodging elsewhere.
3. The changing of the seasons is a natural occurrence that happens four times a year.

(Entry 1 of 2) 1a : an occurrence of an action or situation that is a separate unit of experience : happening. b : an accompanying minor occurrence or condition : concomitant. 2 : an action likely to lead to grave consequences especially in diplomatic matters a serious border incident.

As an adjective, incident is used in the field of physics to describe particles or radiation that fall on a surface. The incident light showed how dirty the windows were.

The definition of an incident is something that happens, possibly as a result of something else. An example of incident is seeing a butterfly while taking a walk. An example of incident is someone going to jail after being arrested for shoplifting.

When a ray of light is incident on a surface at an angle equal to 0 degrees with the normal drawn at the point of incidence, that is called normal incidence.

Incident ray – A ray of light falling on the surface separating two mediums is the incident ray. Refracted ray – A ray of light traveling in another medium, with change in direction is the refracted ray. Angle of incidence – The angle which the incident ray makes with the normal is called angle of incidence.

The incident ray, reflected ray and a line perpendicular to the wall at the contact point lie in the same plane. We can calculate the amount of refraction using Snell’s law, which shows the relationship between the incident light and refracted light.

When a line is drawn perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence, this line is known as normal. It is the imaginary line which is perpendicular to the reflecting surface. The normal ray is incident at 90 degrees to the reflecting surface.

Incident ray – the ray of light falling on the surface AB is called the incident ray. Reflected ray – the incident ray bouncing back in the same medium after striking the reflecting surface is called reflected ray. Normal – it is the line drawn perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence.

1. The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal to the interface of two transparent media at the point of incidence, all lie in the same plane. 2. The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is a constant, for the light of a given color and for the given pair of media.

In geometry, a ray can be defined as a part of a line that has a fixed starting point but no end point. It can extend infinitely in one direction. On its way to infinity, a ray may pass through more than one point. The vertex of the angles is the starting point of the rays.

In Geometry, we define a point as a location and no size. A line is defined as something that extends infinitely in either direction but has no width and is one dimensional while a plane extends infinitely in two dimensions.

A point indicates a location and has no size. A line is represented by a straight path that extends in two opposite directions without end and has no thickness.

Plane P and Q of this cake intersect only once in line m. Postulate 2.7 states that if two planes intersect, then their intersection is a line.

corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent

The CPCTC theorem states that when two triangles are congruent, then their corresponding parts are equal.

It means that if two trangles are known to be congruent , then all corresponding angles/sides are also congruent. As an example, if 2 triangles are congruent by SSS, then we also know that the angles of 2 triangles are congruent.

Side Side Side (SSS) If a pair of triangles have three proportional corresponding sides, then we can prove that the triangles are similar.

If all three pairs of corresponding sides are congruent, the triangles are congruent. This congruence shortcut is known as side-side-side (SSS). Another shortcut is side-angle-side (SAS), where two pairs of sides and the angle between them are known to be congruent.

SSS (Side-Side-Side) If all the three sides of one triangle are equivalent to the corresponding three sides of the second triangle, then the two triangles are said to be congruent by SSS rule. In the above-given figure, AB= PQ, QR= BC and AC=PR, hence Δ ABC ≅ Δ PQR.
