Answer:

Specular reflection

Explanation:

It is produced in very flat reflective surfaces as with mirrors. In this case the reflection takes place in only one direction thanks to which it is possible to form images. This type of reflection obeys the law of reflection, so the angle of incidence of the rays is equal to the angle of reflection.

Answer: The correct answer is "Reflection".

Explanation:

Reflection is the phenomenon in which the light ray gets reflected from the surface without getting transmit or absorb. It bounces back from the surface.

There are two laws of reflection.

(1) The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.

(2) The reflected ray, the incident ray and the normal lie in the same plane.

When you see your image on the surface of the water in a pond, the reflection phenomenon is at work.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Reflection phenomenon".

__________ helps us adapt to our environment. It also generally __________ with age. A. Plasticity . . . decreases B. Developmen

Nana76 [90]

Not sure this is a physics question (probably biology).
Anyway, the correct answer is A):
"Plasticity helps us to adapt to our environment. It also generally decreases with age".
Plasticity is the ability to adapt to the environment. Since this ability is linked with brain functions, and brain functions worsen with age, then plasticity decreases with age.

A 2.00-kg block of ice is moving on a frictionless horizontal surface. At t = 0 the block is moving to the right with a velocity

enyata [817]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

We shall apply the concept of impulse .

Impulse = force x time = change in momentum

= 5 x 4 = 2 ( V - 3 ) , where V is final velocity of the object

20 = 2V - 6

V = 13 m /s

b )

Impulse applied = - 7 x 4 = - 28 kg m/s ( negative as direction of force is opposite motion )

If v be the final velocity

2 x 3 - 28 = 2 v ( initial momentum - change in momentum = final momentum )

- 22 = 2v

v = - 11 m /s

object will move with 11 m /s in opposite direction .

12)A black body is heated from 27°C to 127° C. The ratio of their energies of radiations emitted will be

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

$81:256$ .

Explanation:

Let $T$ denote the absolute temperature of this object.

Calculate the value of $T$ before and after heating:

$T(\text{before}) = 27 + 273 = 300\; \rm K$ .

$T(\text{after}) = 127 + 273 = 400\; \rm K$ .

By the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, the energy that this object emits (over all frequencies) would be proportional to $T^4$ .

Ratio between the absolute temperature of this object before and after heating:

$\displaystyle \frac{T(\text{before})}{T(\text{after})} = \frac{3}{4}$ .

Therefore, by the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, the ratio between the energy that this object emits before and after heating would be:

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{T(\text{before})}{T(\text{after})}\right)^{4} = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{4} = \frac{81}{256}$ .
