What happens when parallel light waves strike a smooth, polished surface

Physics
2 answers:
Roman55 [17]3 years ago
7 0
If your choices are the following:
A. regular absotbtion
B. Diffuse absorbtion
C. Regular reflection
D. diffuse reflection

The result when parallel light waves strike a smooth, polished surface is that it will result to regular reflection.

The energy of a photon of light is __________ proportional to its frequency and __________ proportional to its wavelength.
icang [17]

Answer:

D) directly, inversely

Explanation:

The energy of a photon of light is directly proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength.

Frequency is the number of waves that passes through a point per unit of time.

Wavelength is the is the distance between successive crests or troughs on a wave.

 Mathematically, frequency is related to wavelength and velocity using;

             Energy   =  h x f

                      where h is the Planck's constant

                                  f is the frequency

         

                   Since c  = f ∧

where f is the frequency of the wave

           ∧ is the wavelength of the wave

           c is the speed of light

So;

                 f  = c/∧

  Therefore;

                E  = \frac{h c}{wavelength}

From the equation, we see an inverse relationship between E and wavelength and a direct one with frequency.

15) The diagram below represents the sequence of events (steps 1 through 10) resulting in the production of a D' meson and a D*
zubka84 [21]

A statement which describes the changes that occur in this sequence of events is: 2. matter is converted into energy and then energy is converted into matter.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of matter?</h3>

The law of conservation of matter (LOCOM) states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed in any chemical reaction.

Similarly, the energy possessed by a matter can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can only be converted from one energy form to another.

In this context, we can logically deduce that a statement which best describes the changes that occur in this sequence of events is that matter is converted into energy and subsequently, energy is converted into matter.

What is earths magnetism
vivado [14]

Answer:

Magmatism is the emplacement of magma within and at the surface of the outer layers of a terrestrial planet, which solidifies as igneous rocks. ... On Earth, magma forms by partial melting of silicate rocks either in the mantle, continental or oceanic crust.

If the San Andreas Fault moves 200 cm (2 meters) per big earthquake, and plate movement is xx cm/yr (see question above), how ma
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Option C

80 years

Explanation:

<em>From Scientific records, the rate of movement of the plate is 0.025 meters</em>

Since the fault moves at the rate of 2 meters per year, to obtain the number of years it will takes to produce an earth quake, we will have to divide the rate of movement of the fault by the rate of movement of the plate.

Number of years for earthquake = \frac{2}{0.025}= 80 years.

Hence, it will take 80 years to produce one big earthquake.

Why do soundwaves move faster than the ground than through the air​
Sati [7]

Answer:

Particles of matter are packed more tightly in the ground than in the air

Explanation:

the reason is that sound waves are vibrations of the molecules of the medium: therefore, if the particles of the medium are closer together (as in solids), the vibrations can be transmitted faster, and the wave can travel faster
