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.

Explain how you can cause light separated by a prism to combine

r-ruslan [8.4K]

When you shine a lite through a prism is reflects out light through all of the edges and causes light separation. Or just simply shine a laser through the edge of a sideways piece of glass.

I hope that this was helpful for you.

One litre of crude oil weighs 9.6N. Calculate its specific weight, density and specific gravity.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The answer is " $\bold{9600 \frac{N}{m^3}, 978.59 \frac{kg}{m^3}, and \ 0.978}$ "

Explanation:

Given:

$\to v=1\ liter= 10^{-3} \ m^3\\\\\to w= 9.6 \ N\\$

calculation:

$Specific \ weight =\frac{w}{v}=\frac{9.6}{10^{-3}}=9600 \frac{N}{m^3} \\\\w=mg\\\\m= \frac{w}{g}=\frac{9.6}{9.81}=0.9785\ kg\\\\\rho\ (density)=\frac{m}{v}=\frac{0.9785}{10^{-3}}=978.59 \frac{kg}{m^3}\\\\specific \ gravity = \frac{\prho \ obj}{\rho w}=\frac{978.54}{1000}=0.978$

A worker pushes a box across the floor to the right at a constant speed with a force of 25N. What

icang [17]

Answer:

Friction between the box and the floor is 25N to the left

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the box along the horizontal direction:

- The force of push applied by the worker, in the forward direction, F

- The force of friction, $F_f$ , acting in the opposite direction (backward)

So the net force acting on the box is

$F_{net}=F-F_f$

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on an object is equal to the product between its mass (m) and its acceleration (a), so we can write:

$F_{net}=ma$
