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.

At what angle North of East must the ship travel to reach its destination? Let East be 0◦ and North 90◦.

soldi70 [24.7K]

That kind of depends on where the ship is now, and where it wants to go.
We learn these kinds of things in navigation school, and I'll just bet that
it's the kind of information that's right there in the part of the question
that you didn't bother copying.

Two people are talking at a distance of 3.0 m from where you are and you measure the sound intensity as 1.1 × 10-7 W/m2. Another

ioda

Answer:

$6.1875\times 10^{-8}$

Explanation:

Assuming uniform spread of sound with no significant reflections or absorption. We know that sound intensity varies $I=\frac {k}{r^{2}}$ where r is the distance

Since intensity is given then when at 3 m

$1.1\times 10^{-7}= \frac {k}{3^{2}}$

$k=3^{2}\times 1.1\times 10^{-7}= 9.9\times 10^{-7}$

Since we have the constant then at 4m

Intensity, $I= \frac {9.9\times 10^{-7}}{4^{2}}=6.1875\times 10^{-8}$

At what temperature the semiconductor behaves like conductor?

hammer [34]

Answer:

A semiconductor acts like an ideal insulator at absolute zero temperature that is at zero kelvin. It is because the free electrons in the valence band of semiconductors will not carry enough thermal energy to overcome the forbidden energy gap at absolute zero.

A potential difference of 3.00 nV is set up across a 2.00 cm length of copper wire that has a radius of 2.00 mm. How much charge

Anvisha [2.4K]

The number of charge drifts are 3.35 X 10⁻⁷C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Potential difference, V = 3 nV = 3 X 10⁻⁹m

Length of wire, L = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Radius of the wire, r = 2 mm = 2 X 10⁻³m

Cross section, 3 ms

charge drifts, q = ?

We know,

the charge drifts through the copper wire is given by

q = iΔt

where Δt = 3 X 10⁻³s

and i = $\frac{V}{R}$

where R is the resistance

R = $\frac{pL}{r^{2} \pi }$

ρ is the resistivity of the copper wire = 1.69 X 10⁻⁸Ωm

So, i = $\frac{\pi(r)^{2}V }{pL}$

q = $\frac{\pi(r^{2} )Vt }{pL}$

Substituting the values,

q = 3.14 X (0.02)² X 3 X 10⁻⁹ X 3 X 10⁻³ / 1.69 X 10⁻⁸ X 0.02

q = 3.35 X 10⁻⁷C

Therefore, the number of charge drifts are 3.35 X 10⁻⁷C
