Most of the light reflects back and form a virtual image !!
Ipatiy [6.2K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: When light rays strike a smooth, opaque surface such as a mirror, most of the rays <u>reflect back</u> forming <u>a virtual image</u>.

Explanation:

When light rays strike a smooth surface such as mirror, the light cannot pass through as it is opaque. Most of the light is reflected back. A mirror is made up of glass with highly lustrous metal polished at the back.

The image formed by a mirror is not real as it cannot be obtained on a screen. It is virtual in nature, forms behind the mirror. The image is of same size and at the same distance from the mirror as the object is.

A satellite with mass 500 kg is placed in a circular orbit about Earth (Mass= 5.98 x 10^24 kg), radius = (6.4 x 10^6), a distanc
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Explanation:

a) F = GmM / r²

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹) (500) (5.98×10²⁴) / (6.4×10⁶ + 1.5×10⁶)²

F = 3200 N

b) F = ma

3200 = 500a

a = 6.4 m/s²

c) a = v² / r

640 = v² / (6.4×10⁶ + 1.5×10⁶)

v = 7100 m/s

How does wavelength of radio wave compare to the wavelength of a visible light wave?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The wavelength of radio waves is much longer than the wavelength of visible light waves

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are periodic oscillations of the electric and the magnetic fields, occuring in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

Electromagnetic waves are the only waves able to travel in a vacuum; they travel at the speed of light:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Electromagnetic waves are also classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From longest to shortest wavelength, we have: (with the corresponding wavelength written in the brackets):

Radio waves (>1 m)

Microwaves (1 mm - 1 m)

Infrared (750 nm - 1 mm)

Visible light (380 nm - 750 nm)

Ultraviolet (10 nm - 380 nm)

X-rays (0.01 nm - 10 nm)

Gamma rays (<0.01 nm)

So from the table, we can see that:

The wavelength of radio waves is much longer than the wavelength of visible light waves.
