Light incident on a surface at an angle of 45° undergoes diffused reflection. At what angle will it reflect?

2 answers:

8 0

<span>The correct answer is option D. i.e. at any angle between -90 and 90 degrees. In the diffused reflection ,the surface is rough and the direction of light in not the same as the incident light. It can be reflected at any angle. </span>

Answer:

D. at any angle between -90° and 90°

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand the difference between specular reflection and diffuse reflection:

- Specular reflection occurs when the surface hit by the light is perfectly smooth. In this case, the law of reflection states that the angle at which the light is reflected is equal to the angle of incidence of the light (measured relative to the normal to the surface)

- Diffuse reflection occurs when the surface hit by the light is rough. In this case, the law of reflection is still valid for every ray of light hitting the surface; however, due to the imperfections of the surface, each ray of light hits the surface at a different angle of incidence. This means that the angle of reflection for each ray will be different, so light is reflected in any direction between -90 degrees and 90 degrees, which corresponds to the minimum and the maximum angle of reflection measured relative the normal to the surface.

A fan cart with the fan set to high rolled across the floor. The cart's speeds with the fan on high are shown below. If the fan

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Speed of cart's might be less than the high speed after 5 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that,

A fan cart with the fan set to high rolled across the floor.

Let the speed of fan cart with set to high is $x\ cm$ per second.

The fan supplies a force to the cart. If a lower fan speed were used, less force would be applied. This would cause a slower change in the cart's speed. So, the cart would be rolling more slowly than $x\ cm$ per second after 5 seconds. The speed of cart's might be less than $x\ cm$ per second.

Force is needed

A. for a moving object to keep moving at the same speed and direction

B. for a moving object to change its speed

C. for a motionless object to remain still

D. to prevent a moving object from turning

Hence,

Speed of cart's might be less than the high speed after 5 seconds.

What best describes a sound wave? transverse and electromagnetic longitudinal and mechanical longitudinal and electromagnetic tr

GalinKa [24]

Sound needs medium to travel and it can not travel without medium

so sound wave is a travelling wave

now we also know that sound wave propagate in form of rarefaction and compression.

So all medium particles travel in the direction of wave only

so it is a longitudinal wave also

so correct answer will be

<em>mechanical longitudinal </em>

Steam at 100°C is condensed into a 38.0 g aluminum calorimeter cup containing 280 g of water at 25.0°C. Determine the amount of

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

7.2g

Explanation:

From the expression of latent heat of steam, we have

Heat supplied by steam = Heat gain water + Heat gain by calorimeter

mathematically,

$m_{s}c_{w} \alpha _{w}$ + $m_{s}l$ = $m_{w}c_{w} \alpha _{w}$ + $m_{c}c_{c} \alpha c_{c}$

L=specific latent heat of water(steam)=2268J/g

$c_{w}$ =specific heat capacity=4.2J/gK

$c_{c}$ =specific heat capacity of calorimeter =0.9J/gk

$m_{w}$ =280g

$m_{c}$ =38g

α=change in temperature

$\alpha _{c}$ =(40-25)=15

$\alpha _{w}$ =(40-25)=15

$\alpha _{s}$ =(100-40)=60

Note: the temperature of the calorimeter is the temperature of it content.

From the equation, we can make $m_{s}$ the subject of formula

$m_{s}=\frac{m_{w}c_{w} \alpha +m_{c}c_{c}\alpha}{c_{w}\alpha +l}$

Hence

$m_{s}=\frac{(280*4.2*15) +(38*0.9*15)}{(4.2*60) +2268} \\m_{s}=\frac{18153}{2520}\\ m_{s}=7.2g$

Hence the amount of steam needed is 7.2g

If a planet has the same mass as the earth, but has twice the radius, how does the surface gravity, g, compare to g on the surfa

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The surface gravity g of the planet is 1/4 of the surface gravity on earth.

Explanation:

Surface gravity is given by the following formula:

$g=G\frac{m}{r^{2}}$

So the gravity of both the earth and the planet is written in terms of their own radius, so we get:

$g_{E}=G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}$

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{r_{P}^{2}}$

The problem tells us the radius of the planet is twice that of the radius on earth, so:

$r_{P}=2r_{E}$

If we substituted that into the gravity of the planet equation we would end up with the following formula:

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{(2r_{E})^{2}}$

Which yields:

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}$

So we can now compare the two gravities:

$\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}}{G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}}$

When simplifying the ratio we end up with:

$\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{1}{4}$

So the gravity acceleration on the surface of the planet is 1/4 of that on the surface of Earth.
