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

This problem must be solved using a sketch. I attached an illustration of the problem.
You must trace the ray that reflects from the top off the table to your eyes. This how eyesight works, light rays reflects off the objects into your eyes.
Law of reflection tells us that light ray reflects off the surface at the same angle in which it falls on it( i attached another illustration of this).
Now we can write tangens equations:
$tan(\theta)=\frac{h-0.8}{1}\\
tan(\theta)=\frac{1.8-h}{2.8}\\
\frac{h-0.8}{1}=\frac{1.8-h}{2.8}$
We solve for h:
$\frac{h-0.8}{1}=\frac{1.8-h}{2.8}\\
2.8h-0.8\cdot 2.8=1.8-h\\
3.8h=1.8+2.24\\
h=\frac{4.04}{3.8}\\
h=1.06m$

What is the acceleration of a proton moving with a speed of 6.5 m/s at right angles to a magnetic field of 1.5 T?

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the proton, u = 6.5 m/s

magnetic field strength, B = 1.5 T

The force of the proton is given by;

F = ma = qvB(sin90°)

ma = qvB

where;

m is mass of the proton, = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

charge of the proton, q = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The acceleration of the proton is given by;

$a = \frac{qvB}{m}\\\\a = \frac{(1.602*10^{-19})(6.5)(1.5)}{1.67*10^{-27}}\\\\a = 9.353*10^8 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²
