What is the angle of reflection?
2 answers:
Explanation :
The process in which the object after striking on a reflecting surface bounces back is called reflection. This process is shown by the light and the sound waves etc.
There are two laws of reflection :
- The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
- The normal, incident ray and the reflected ray and the point of incidence all lie in the same plane.
From the attached figure, it is clear that the angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal to the reflecting surface. It is denoted by .
Hence, the correct option is (C) " the angle that the reflected ray makes with a line drawn perpendicular to the reflecting surface ".

Explanation:
Because the particle q₃ is close to two other electrically charged particles, it will experience two electrical forces and the solution of the problem is of a vector nature.
Equivalences
1nC= 10⁻⁹C
1cm = 10⁻²m
Known data
k= 9*10⁹N*m²/C²
q₁= -2.65 nC =-2.65*10⁻⁹C
q₂= +2.00 nC = 2*10⁻⁹C
q₃= +5.00 nC= =+5*10⁻⁹C
* 10⁻²m = 4.9678* 10⁻²m
(d₁₃)² = 24.68*10⁻⁴m²
d₂₃ = 3.2 cm = 3.2*10⁻²m

The directions of the individual forces exerted by q₁ and q₂ on q₃ are shown in the attached figure.
The force (F₂₃) of q₂ on q₃ is repulsive because the charges have equal signs and the forces.
The force (F₁₃) of q₁ on q₃ is attractive because the charges have opposite signs.
Magnitudes of F₁₃ and F₂₃
F₁₃ = (k*q₁*q₃)/(d₁₃)²=( 9*10⁹*2.65*10⁻⁹*5*10⁻⁹) /(24.68*10⁻⁴)
F₁₃ = 4.8 *10⁻⁵ N
F₂₃ = (k*q₂*q₃)/(d₂₃)² = ( 9*10⁹*2*10⁻⁹*5*10⁻⁹) /((3.2)²*10⁻⁴)
F₂₃ = 8.8 *10⁻⁵ N
x-y components of F₁₃ and F₂₃
F₁₃x= -4.8 *10⁻⁵ *cos β= - 4.8 *10⁻⁵(3.2/ (4.9678)= - 3.09*10⁻⁵ N
F₁₃y= -4.8 *10⁻⁵ *sin β= - 4.8 *10⁻⁵(3.8/(4.9678) = - 3.67*10⁻⁵ N
F₂₃x = F₂₃ = +8.8 *10⁻⁵ N
F₂₃y = 0
x and y components of the total force exerted on q₃ by q₁ and q₂ (Fn)
Fnx= F₁₃x+F₂₃x = - 3.09*10⁻⁵ N+8.8 *10⁻⁵ N= 5.71*10⁻⁵ N
Fny= F₁₃y+F₂₃y = - 3.67*10⁻⁵ N+0= - 3.67*10⁻⁵ N
Fn magnitude

Fn= 6.78 *10⁻⁵ N
