What happens to infrared radiation when it comes to contact wih a shiny suface

If a surface looks "shiny" to you, that's because it reflects all
or most of the visible light that hits it. That doesn't always mean
that the same surface reflects other, non-visible wavelengths of
light. Infrared radiation may also reflect off of it, and probably
does. But you can't be sure just because it's visibly shiny.

If you didn't know, some surfaces are better than others at absorbing and reflecting infrared radiation.If infrared radiation comes in contact with a shiny surface the shiny surface reflects the radiation.(shiny surfaces are the best reflectors). Hope this helps you :D

What is a disadvantage of using nuclear power to produce electricity?

MrRa [10]

Question:

What is a disadvantage of using nuclear power to produce electricity?

Answer:

Disadvantages of Nuclear Power

The further implementations of nuclear power are limited because although nuclear energy does not produce CO2 the way fossil fuels do, there is still a toxic byproduct produced from uranium-fueled nuclear cycles: radioactive fission waste.

At a given instant an object has an angular velocity. It also has an angular acceleration due to torques that are present. There

katen-ka-za [31]

a) Constant

b) Constant

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using the equivalent of Newton's second law of motion of rotational motion, which can be written as:

$\tau_{net} = I \alpha$ (1)

where

$\tau_{net}$ is the net torque acting on the object in rotation

I is the moment of inertia of the object

$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration

The angular acceleration is the rate of change of the angular velocity, so it can be written as

$\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta \omega$ is the change in angular velocity

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

So we can rewrite eq.(1) as

$\tau_{net}=I\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}$

In this problem, we are told that at a given instant, the object has an angular acceleration due to the presence of torques, so there is a non-zero change in angular velocity.

Then, additional torques are applied, so that the net torque suddenly equal to zero, so:

$\tau_{net}=0$

From the previous equation, this implies that

$\Delta \omega =0$

Which means that the angular velocity at that instant does not change anymore.

In this second case instead, all the torques are suddenly removed.

This also means that the net torque becomes zero as well:

$\tau_{net}=0$

Therefore, this means that

$\Delta \omega =0$

So also in this case, there is no change in angular velocity: this means that the angular velocity of the object will remain constant.

So cases (a) and (b) are basically the same situation, as the net torque is zero in both cases, so the object acts in the same way.

A periodic wave with wavelength 2m has a speed of 4m/s. What is the waves frequency?.

Gekata [30.6K]

The wave frequency is 2 Hz.

What is wave frequency ?

The number of waves that pass through a fixed point in a given amount of time is referred to as the wave frequency. The hertz is the SI unit for wave frequency (Hz).

$f = v / w$
