Answer:

Depending upon the size of the irregularities on the surface and the wavelength of the surface a surface can be smooth for the waves of smaller wavelengths than the size of the irregularities.

Explanation:

Depending upon the size of the irregularities on the surface and the wavelength of the surface a surface can be smooth for some of the waves but not for the others.

  • More specifically, when a surface has irregularities of the size greater than or equal to the wavelength of a wave then the surface is rough for that particular wave and causes irregular reflection in the incident light.

Contrarily, when the surface has the irregularities less than the size of the wavelength then it reflects most of the light in a uniform manner.

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

The friction generated heat to release chemical energy because the same same thing happens with fluorescent and sodium vapor lamps; heat causes the (low-pressure) mercury/sodium vapor gas lamp to cause a lot of heat energy resulting in the same thing happening when you strike a match.

zheka24 [161]
A. An object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force : The momentum of an object is constant unless an outside force acts on the object.

B. Force is defined as mass times acceleration : the rate of change of the momentum of a particle is proportional to the force F acting on it, hence the force is equal to <span>mass times acceleration.

C. </span>For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction : <span>to every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. </span>
