Angle Of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.

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.

The terminal velocity of a person falling in air depends upon the weight and the area of the person facing the fluid.
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The terminal velocity of the diver is 115 m/s = 414 km/hr

Explanation:

At terminal velocity,

Fnet = mg - Fd = 0

Drag force, Fd = cρAv²/2

mg = cρAv²/2

Terminal Velocity of a body falling through a fluid as in a diver falling through air is given by

v = √(2mg/ρcA)

where m = mass of body falling through fluid = 80 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

ρ = density fluid, density of air, as obtained from literature = 1.21 kg/m³

c = coefficient of drag friction of diver falling through air, as obtained from literature = 0.7

A = the area of the diver facing the fluid = 0.14 m²

v = √(2mg/ρcA) = √((2 × 80 × 9.8)/(1.21 × 0.7 × 0.14)) = 115 m/s = 115 × (3600/1000) km/hr = 414 km/hr

Since sinusoidal waves are cyclical, a particular phase difference between two waves is identical to that phase difference plus
poizon [28]

Answer:

For destructive interference phase difference is

(2n+1)\pi where n∈ Whole numbers

Explanation:

For sinusoidal wave the interference affects the resultant intensity of the waves.

In the given example we have two waves interfering at a phase difference of \frac{\pi}{4} would lead to a constructive interference giving maximum amplitude at at the RMS value of the amplitude in resultant.

Also the effect is same as having a phase difference of  ( \frac{\pi}{4} + 2\pi) because after each 2π the waves repeat itself.

<em>In case of destructive interference the waves will be out of phase i.e. the amplitude vectors will be equally opposite in the direction at the same place on the same time as shown in figure.</em>

They have a phase difference of \pi or which is same as (2\pi+\pi)

Generalizing to:

a phase difference of (2n+1)\pi where n∈ {W}

{W}= set of whole numbers.

A sphere is charged with electrons to
pishuonlain [190]
A sphere is charged with electrons to −9 × 10−6 C. The value given is the total charge of all the electrons present in the sphere. To calculate the number of electrons in the sphere, we divide the the total charge with the charge of one electron.

N = 9 × 10−6 C / 1.6 × 10−19 C
N = 5.6 x 10^13

A 25kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires 165 N force to set it in motion. Once the chair is in motion, a 12
bazaltina [42]

The coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor is 0.67

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the chair = 25kg

Force = 165 N (F_applied)

Force = 127 N (F_max)

To find: Coefficient of static friction  

The “coefficient of static friction” between a chair and the floor is defined as the ration of maximum force to the normal force acting on the chair  

μ_s=F_{max}/F_{n}  

The F_n is equal to the weight multiplied by its gravity

∴F_{n}=mg  

Thus the coefficient of static friction changes as

μ_s=F_{max}/mg

μ_{s} = =165N/((25kg)\times(9.80 m/s^2 ) )

= 0.67
