Answer:

b. The reflection of light from a smooth surface is called specular reflection.

c. The reflection of light from a rough surface is called diffuse reflection.

Explanation:

a. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection only when a ray of light strikes a plane mirror.

This is wrong: Based on law of reflection "The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection when light strikes any plane surface" examples plane mirrors, still waters, plane tables, etc

b. The reflection of light from a smooth surface is called specular reflection.

This is correct

c. The reflection of light from a rough surface is called diffuse reflection.

This is correct

d. For diffuse reflection, the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of reflection.

This is wrong: the angle of incident is equal to angle of reflection. The only difference between this type of reflection and specular reflection, is that the normal for diffuse reflection is not parallel to each due to the rough surface in which the light incidents.

For specular reflection, the angle of incidence is less than the angle of reflection.

This is wrong: the angle of incident is equal to angle of reflection

Freezing Point Depression: Can someone explain this formula to me? ΔTf = Kfcm

Leya [2.2K]

If the solution is treated as an ideal solution, the extent of freezing point depression depends only on the solute concentration that can be estimated by a simple linear relationship with the cryoscopic constant: ΔTF = KF · m · i ΔTF, the freezing point depression, is defined as TF (pure solvent) - TF (solution). KF, the cryoscopic constant, which is dependent on the properties of the solvent, not the solute. Note: When conducting experiments, a higher KF value makes it easier to observe larger drops in the freezing point. For water, KF = 1.853 K·kg/mol.[1] m is the molality (mol solute per kg of solvent) i is the van 't Hoff factor (number of solute particles per mol, e.g. i = 2 for NaCl).
