Before going to answer this question first we have to understand reflection and laws of reflection.
Reflection is the optical phenomenon in which light will bounce back to the same medium from which it had originated .
Whenever a light ray will incident on a mirror or any reflecting surface, it will be reflected. The ray which falls on the reflecting surface is called incident ray and the ray which is reflected is called reflected ray.
Let us consider a normal to the point of incidence.The angle made by incident ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as[ i ]
The angle made by the reflected ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as [r]
There are two types of reflection.One is called regular and other one is called as irregular.The laws of reflection is valid for both the types of reflection.
There are two laws of reflection.
FIRST LAW -It states that the incident ray,reflected ray and the normal to the point of incidence,all lie in one plane.
SECOND LAW- It states that that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection irrespective of the type of reflection.i.e i =r
Hence the correct answer will be angle of reflection.
Answer:
Explanation:
1 ) Let the initial horizontal velocity of car be v .
For vertical displacement
vertical displacement h = 21.3 - 2.3 = 19 m
Time taken to fall by 19 m be t
19 = 1/2 x 9.8 t² ( initial downward velocity is zero )
t = 1.97 s
This is also the time taken to cover horizontal displacement of 54 m which is width of river .
horizontal speed v = 54 / 1.97 m /s
v = 27.41 m /s
2 )
At the time of landing on other side , car will have both vertical and horizontal speed .
vertical speed
v = u + gt
= 0 + 9.8 x 1.97 = 19.31 m /s
horizontal speed will remain same as the initial speed = 27.41 m /s
Resultant speed = √ ( 27.41² + 19.31² )
= √ ( 751.3 + 372.87)
= 33.52 m /s
