Answer:

It is Reflection of light from water surface

Explanation:

When light coming from the mountains incident on the stationary water surface then major proportion of light gets reflected from the surface of water and this will received by the observer eye.

We also know that when light beam gets reflected into the form of beam then it is known as regular reflection.

Here when water surface is calm then the surface is assumed to be plane and in this case the light gets reflected by the surface of water in same direction and we got a good image in the water.

So this property of image is due to reflection of light.

I say it's the regular reflection

The question is poor. Light doesn't refract on its way THROUGH anything. It refracts at the boundary BETWEEN two different media. The effect is greatest where the ratio of the speeds of light in the two media is greatest. On your list, that would be at the boundary between air or space and glass.

If "0.3 minute" is correct, then it's 9,543,272 Joules.

If it's supposed to say "0.3 SECOND", then the KE is 2,651 Joules.

xenn [34]

Answer:

The force is now 9 times the original force

Explanation:

Coulomb's Law

The electrostatic force between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Coulomb's formula is:

$\displaystyle F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$
