Explanation:
The four things that can happen to a light wave when it hits an objects are :
1. Reflection : The bouncing back of light when the light wave strikes on a surface is called reflection of light.
2. Refraction : The bending of light when the light wave moves from one medium to another.
3. Absorption : Absorption is the process in which the light wave do not reflect back. It stays inside the material.
4. Transmission : Transmission of light is the process in which light wave goes continuously straight.
Some other process that are shown by a light wave are polarization, scattering etc.

Answer:
It have 1.359 joule kinetic energy.
Explanation:
- Kinetic energy is defined as the energy of any object due to its state of motion.
- Mathematically kinetic energy can be calculated as:
K.E = ...........................equation 1
where,
m= mass of object
v= velocity of that moving object
- In the above problem;
mass= 2500 lbs = kg.
velocity= 80mph=
=
.
- Substituting the values in equation 1, we get;
K.E= *
*
K.E=
