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

Physics
1 answer:
Bad White [126]3 years ago
4 0

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.

What is the mean of 22, 72, 79, 72, and 70
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

63

Explanation:

You first have to add all the numbers together.

22+72+79+72+70 = 315

You divide the total by the amount of numbers (5)

315/5 = 63

The mean is 63

A body of mass 25kg, moving at 3 ms per second on a rough horizontal floor brought to rest after sliding through a distance of 2
erastova [34]
You have to solve this by using the equations of motion:
u=3
v=0
s=2.5
a=?
v^2=u^2+2as
0=9+5s
Giving a=-1.8m/s^2

Then using the equation:
F=ma
F is the frictional force as there is no other force acting and its negative as its in the opposite direction to the direction of motion.

-F=25(-1.8)
F=45N

Then use the formula:
F=uR
Where u is the coefficient of friction, R is the normal force and F is the frictional force.

45=u(25g)
45=u(25*10)

Therefore, the coefficient of friction is 0.18

Hope that helps

Okay i'm totally stuck and nobody I know really gets it either, so i've turned to Yahoo for help :)

Here is the rule for see-saws here on Earth, and there is no reason
to expect that it doesn't work exactly the same anywhere else:

                     (weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on one side</u>
is equal to
                     (weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on the other side</u>.

That's why, when Dad and Tiny Tommy get on the see-saw, Dad sits
closer to the pivot and Tiny Tommy sits farther away from it.

       (Dad's weight) x (short length) = (Tiny Tommy's weight) x (longer length).


So now we come to the strange beings on the alien planet.
There are three choices right away that both work:

<u>#1).</u>
(400 N) in the middle-seat, facing (200 N) in the end-seat.

       (400) x (1)  =    (200) x (2)

<u>#2).</u>
(200 N) in the middle-seat, facing (100 N) in the end-seat.

       (200) x (1)  =    (100) x (2)

<u>#3).</u>

On one side:  (300 N) in the end-seat       (300) x (2) = <u>600</u>

On the other side:
                      (400 N) in the middle-seat  (400) x (1) = 400
           and     (100 N) in the end-seat      (100) x (2) = 200
                                                    Total . . . . . . . . . . . . <u>600</u> 


These are the only ones to be identified at Harvard . . . . . . .
There may be many others but they haven't been discarvard.

Calculate the force of a particle with a net charge of 170 coulombs traveling at a speed of 135 meters/second perpendicular to t
amm1812

Answer:

F=1.14N j

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic force over a charge in a constant magnetic field is given by the formula:

|\vec{F}|=|q\vec{v} \ X\ \vec{B}|=qvsin\theta  (|)

In this case v and B vectors are perpendicular between them. Furthermore the direction of the magnetic force is:

-i X k = +j

Finally, by replacing in (1) we obtain:

\vec{F}=(170C)(135\frac{m}{s})(5.0*10^{-5}T)=1.14N\ \hat{j}

hope this helps!
