When light (or another wave) bounces back from a surface ?

1 answer:

3 0

Light bounces back due to the phenomenon called reflection. When light incidents on a plane shiny surface like mirror, it travels again in the same medium(medium from which light was incident) with no loss in energy(energy before and after reflection will remain same iff incident surface completely reflects light)

Ronch [10]

1. friction between water molecules
2. the wave spreads out onto a larger and larger area, so per unit area, the energy of the wave goes down

The figure shows three displacement vectors, which are

aleksley [76]

Answer:

the correct answer is D

Explanation:

In this exercise, the vectors are in the same west-east direction, so we can assume that the positive direction is east and perform the algebraic sum.

R = δ + ε

where

δ = 2.0 m

ε = 7.0 m

the positive sign indicates that it is heading east

R = 2.0 + 7.0

R = 9.0 m

the direction is east

the correct answer is D
