Physics
1 answer:
natka813 [3]4 years ago
4 0

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

What is its speed after 3. 83 as if it accelerates uniformly at −3. 04 m/s 2 ? answer in units of m/s.
weeeeeb [17]

The velocity equation is v_{final} =v_{initial} +at\\

Known facts:

  • t = 3.83s
  • a= -3.04
  • intial velocity = 0

Plug into equation known quantities:

   v_{final} = (-3.04) * 3.83 = -11.6432m/s

Thus the final velocity is -11.6432m/s

Hope that helps!
