CULTURAL QA 05202423 Q1 During Mahabharata era, kings and princes had more than one spouse. Then did Hastinapur Palace have enough space for the 100 Kauravas' wives and children?
KR The 5 versions read all in all finally did not answer whether or there enough space. Mahabharatham does not describe Hastinapura palace city of elephants, except the Dutha assembly hall a little; but Indraprastha is described in Sabha Parva Book 2. Also, later Dwaraka palace. And B B Lal did excavations of these places and found spell bound architectures. Q2 Why does a mirror reverse thing horizontally but not vertically? KR There is no front back horizontal and vertical etc as questioned and leading nowhere answers. What is in light can be seen reversed as under the exact theory” The exact theory of mirror reflection is described by geometric optics, a branch of physics that deals with the behaviour of light and its interactions with matter at the scale of individual photons. The basic principles of mirror reflection are explained by the law of reflection, which states: The incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror at the point of incidence) all lie in the same plane. The angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle between the reflected ray and the normal). Mathematically, these principles are expressed by the following equations: angle of incidence (i)=angle of reflection (r) angle of incidence (i)=angle of reflection (r) This means that if you shine a beam of light onto a mirror at a certain angle, it will reflect off the mirror at an equal angle on the other side of the normal.
