The angle of reflection is C). the angle that the reflected ray makes with a line drawn perpendicular to the reflecting surface, that way the reflection can be seen.

Hope I have helped, mark as Brainliest, and have a good day!!!

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 $\angle r$ .

Hence, the correct option is (C) " the angle that the reflected ray makes with a line drawn perpendicular to the reflecting surface ".

Is a process that modifies light waves so they vibrate in a single plane

madam [21]

The process you're fishing for is "polarization", but that's a

misleading description.

Polarization doesn't do anything to change the light waves.

It simply filters out (absorbs, as with a polarizing filter) the

light waves that aren't vibrating in the desired plane, and

allows only those that are to pass.

The intensity of a light beam is always reduced after

polarizing it, because much (most) of the original light

has been removed.

A laser light source may be thought of as an exception,

since everything coming out of the laser is polarized.

What is number 30,31 in this picture?

Maslowich

On question 30, that is a displacement- time graph (DT). On this type of graph the gradient is equal to the velocity. B has the steepest gradient, then A and finally C

Now velocity is a vector quantity so it has a direction and speed ( speed doesn't have a fixed direction.)

on the DT graph im going to assume that movement B is a positive velocity with A and C being negative.
So by ranking these: A is the most negative, C is the least negative and B has to be the greatest as it is the only positive velocity.

Q31, The same type of graph is present, by looking at the gradients we can rank the largest and smallest velocities- speeds in the case of the question.
i'll skip my working out as its the same as before:

C, B, A and then D

the same idea as on Q30 applies to Q31 part b,

D,C,B then A

You take a couple of capacitors and connect them in series, to which you observe a total capacitance

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Approximately $\rm 5.7\; \mu F$ and approximately $29\; \rm \mu F$ .

Explanation:

Let $C_1$ and $C_2$ denote the capacitance of these two capacitors.

When these two capacitors are connected in parallel, the combined capacitance will be the sum of $C_1$ and $C_2$ . (Think about how connecting these two capacitors in parallel is like adding to the total area of the capacitor plates. That would allow a greater amount of charge to be stored.)

$C(\text{parallel}) = C_1 + C_2$ .

On the other hand, when these two capacitors are connected in series, the combined capacitance should satisfy:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{C(\text{series})} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2}$ .

(Consider how connecting these two capacitors in series is similar to increasing the distance between the capacitor plates. The strength of the electric field ( $V$ ) between these plates will become smaller. That translates to a smaller capacitance if the amount of charge stored $(Q)$ stays the same.)

The question states that:

$C(\text{parallel}) = 35\; \rm \mu F$ , and
$C(\text{series}) = 4.8\; \rm \mu F$ .

Let the capacitance of these two capacitors be $x\; \rm \mu F$ and $y\; \rm \mu F$ . The two equations will become:

$\displaystyle \left\lbrace \begin{aligned}& x + y = 35 \\ & \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{4.8}\end{aligned}\right.$ .

From the first equation:

$y = 35 - x$ .

Hence, the $y$ in the second equation here can be replaced with $(35 - x)$ . That equation would then become:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{35 - x} = \frac{1}{4.8}$ .

Solve for $x$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{x + (35 - x)}{x \, (35 - x)} = \frac{1}{4.8}$ .

$x\, (35 - x) = 4.8$ .

$x^2 - 35 \, x + 168 = 0$ .

Solve this quadratic equation for $x$ :

$x \approx 5.7$ or $x \approx 29.3$ .

Substitute back into the equation $y = 35 - x$ for $y$ :

$x \approx 5.7$ and $y \approx 29.3$ , or
$x \approx 29.3$ and $x \approx 5.7$ .

In other words, these two capacitors have only one possible set of capacitances (even though the previous quadratic equation gave two distinct real roots.) The capacitances of the two capacitors would be approximately $5.7\; \rm \mu F$ and approximately $29\; \rm \mu F$ (both values are rounded to two significant digits.)

What is the difference between heat capacity and specific heat capacity? I want the meaning please.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The heat capacity of a body is defined as the heat required to raise it's temperature by me degree or one kelvin.while specific heat capacity of a substance is defined as the heat required to the temperature of a unit mass of it through one degree or one kelvin.

I hope it helps
