Describe how a wave is reflected on flat surfaces and curved surfaces?

Chemistry
1 answer:
fiasKO [112]3 years ago
5 0

Answer and explanation:

On a flat, smooth surface, such as a flat mirror, all rays that strike the same direction will be reflected at the same angle.

Parallel rays that fall on a flat surface will remain parallel after reflection. The reflection on these smooth surfaces is called specular reflection.

When the surface is irregular, such as a curved or rough surface, the rays that appear at different positions on the surface arrive at different angles of incidence, because there are normal changes along the surface.

The angle of reflection remains the same as that of incidence, but they are reflected at different angles for those looking at the surface. This type of reflection is called diffuse reflection.

agasfer [191]

Answer:

1, 2, 4

Explanation:

The primitive cubic unit cell has eight corners, and each corner is shared with 8 cubic unit cells. Therefore since we have one atom at each corner, we will have:

8 corner x  1 atom/8 corner = 1 atom

There is then the equivalent of one atom per unit cell in the primitive cubic cell.

For the body-centered cubic unit cell, we have 8 corners again shared each by 8 lattices as in the simple cubic plus we have one atom  in the center of the cubic lattice. Therefore, the number of atoms in the body -centerd unit cell is two:

8 corner x 1 atom/8 corner = 1 atom

                      +

1 atom in the center

= 2 atoms/ unit cel

For the face-centerd cubic again we have 8 atoms in the corners shared by 8 lattices, plus 1 atom in each of the faces shared by two unit cells:

8 corner x 1/8 atom/corner + 6 faces x 1 atom/face = 4 atoms/unit cell

Explain the difference between ecosystem, community, and population.
Studentka2010 [4]

Out of the three you gave ecosystem is what I would call the most broad. An ecosystem includes living AND non-living things in an area

Community is all the LIVING things in an area (plants are included and I think bacteria is too, but I'm not sure)

Population is pretty narrow it just looks at specific species in one area. Population of mosquitoes doesn't include butterflies, if only looks at mosquitoes

Hope this helped!

Arrange the following in order of increasing melting point: NaCl, H2O, CH4, C6H4(OH)2.
aliina [53]

Explanation:

one thing to know is that higher surface area = higher boiling point.

NaCl has the smallest surface area, so it's the first one.

H2O has less surface area than methane, so it's second.

Methane has more surface area than H20, so it's third.

The big molecule has the most surface area, so it's last
