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.

(URGENT) A ball rolls off a ledge. Its velocity is 7.70m/s in a horizontal direction. It falls on the floor 1.60m below the ledg
elena-s [515]

Answer:

the horizontal distance is 4.355 meters

Explanation:

The computation of the horizontal distance while travelling in the air is shown below:

Data provided in the question is as follows

Velocity = u = 7.70 m/s

H = 1.60 m

R = horizontal direction

Based on the above information

As we know that

R = u × time

where,

Time = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} }

So,

= 7.70\times \sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.60}{10} }

= 4.355 meters

hence, the horizontal distance is 4.355 meters
