What happens to a light ray if it is incident on a reflective surface along the normal?

Physics

Bad White [126]3 years ago

Answer: The incident ray and the reflected ray and the normal will be parallel to each other.

Explanation:

The normal is perpendicular to the surface of the mirror or the reflective surface.

According to the law of reflection which state that:

The angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection on a smooth surface.

If a light ray is incident on a reflective surface along the normal. The angle of incidence will be at 90 degrees which will be perpendicular to the surface of the mirror, the reflected ray will bounce back likewise at the same angle which will be perpendicular to the reflective surface.

Both the incident ray and the reflected ray and the normal will be parallel to each other.

Explanation:

Rotate it slowly to establish whether the spot moves. If it is broken, it will stay as it is. By rotating it the electrons' path to the centre of the screen will be tilted to another position by any external disturbing field.

Two blocks, of mass m and 2m, are initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. A force F is exerted individually on e
Anon25 [30]

The block has the greatest average power provided is bock m.

<h3>What is instantaneous power?</h3>
  • This is the product of force and velocity exerted on an object.

Mathematically instantaneous power is calculated as;

P = Fv

where;

  • F is the applied force
  • v is the velocity

Both blocks (m and 2m) will experience the same force but different velocity.

The smaller block (m) will experience greater velocity.

Thus, the block has the greatest average power provided is bock m.

sveticcg [70]

Given below the arrangement of loading on the larger boat by two tug boats.

F₁ = 5 N

F₂ = 4 N

Angle between them θ = 90⁰

Resultant between two vectors, F=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2cos\theta }

Substituting

   F = \sqrt{5^2+4^2+2*5*4*cos 90} \\ \\ = 6.403 N

So magnitude of the net force on the block = 6.403 N
