<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The light rays bounce off the table and all move in the same direction.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>When light hits a surface or a boundary it bounces of the surface a phenomenon called reflection, which is a property of waves.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Reflection of light depends on whether the surface is smooth or rough. </u></em><em><u>When the light hits a smooth surface it bounces off the surface and all the rays of light moves in the same direction, this type of reflection is called specular reflection.</u></em>
  • <em><u>On the other hand , when right rays hits a rough surface the rays bounces off the surface and the rays move in different directions, a type of reflection called diffuse reflection.</u></em>

What is the purpose of the article physicists test telepathy in a cheat proof setting?
ryzh [129]
I'm guessing that the purpose of the article is to inform the
general public of the work that these Physicists did when they
attempted to detect the existence or non-existence of telepathy
in a controlled, scientifically acceptable setting.

The REASON the article was ever presented in a non-professional
publication was most likely in deference to the general public's interest
in telepathy, UFOs, aliens, flat Earth, Astrology, and all other forms of
weird garbage.  In other words, its publication was motivated more by
the desire to sell magazines than by any inclination to impart any real,
useful information to the general public.

Which statements best describe x-rays? check all that apply. x-rays are electromagnetic waves. x-rays are longitudinal waves. x-
laiz [17]

X ray is one of the electromagnetic waves.

As per Clark Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, all the electromagnetic waves move with the velocity of light i.e c= 3×10^8 m/s

In case of electromagnetic waves,the electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other as well as perpendicular to the direction of propagation.The electromagnetic waves exhibit the property of polarisation. Hence they are transverse in nature.

Hence the best statements about X- ray will be-

1- X -rays are electromagnetic waves

2-X-rays are transverse transverse waves

3- X- rays travel at the speed of light.
