'B' is the correct choice.

BUT ... the angle of incidence is not the angle between the light ray
and the mirror.  It's the angle between the light ray and the NORMAL
to the mirror.  The 'normal' is the line that's perpendicular to the mirror.

Answer:

B. The angle the light ray makes as it strikes the surface.

Explanation:

Angle of the incidence is the angle that incident light ray will make with the normal to the surface at which light will strike. The surface is reflecting surface and here it follow the law of reflection

As per law of reflection of light angle of incidence with respect to the normal must be equal to the angle of reflection with normal in other direction.

So we can say that

angle of incidence = angle of reflection

so here we can say that the correct answer would be

B. The angle the light ray makes as it strikes the surface.

so the light ray will reflect at the same angle as that of angle of incidence given in it

so it must be

\theta_i = \theta_r

Answer:

Explanation:

First, let's review the ideal gas law, PV = nRT. In this equation, 'P' is the pressure in atmospheres, 'V' is the volume in liters, 'n' is the number of particles in moles, 'T' is the temperature in Kelvin and 'R' is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 liter atmospheres per moles Kelvin).

What does the electric field strength tell about the electric firld?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The region around a charged particle where another charged particle experiences a force of attraction or repulsion is called electric field.

The strength of electric field is defined as the force experienced by the unit positive test charge.

E = F / q

Electric field strength is a vector quantity and it is measured in newton per coulomb.

Where, F is the force of attraction or repulsion between the two charges and q is the test charge on which the electric field strength is to be calculated.

The strength of electric field is more if the field is strong. It means more be the electric field strength at a point more be the electric field.

How does metamorphic rock change into another type of metamorphic rock?
Marrrta [24]
Metamorphic rocks are formed by tremendous heat, great pressure, and chemical reactions. To change it into another type of metamorphic rock you have to reheat it and bury it deeper again beneath the Earth's surface.

Hope this helped! :)
