The law of reflection is quite useful for mirrors and other flat, shiny surfaces. (This sort of reflection is called specular re

flection). However, you've likely been told that when you look at something, you are seeing light reflected from the object that you are looking at. This is reflection of a different sort of diffuse reflection.
Suppose that the spotlight shines so that different parts of the beam reflect off of different two surfaces, one inclined at an angle alpha (from the horizontal) and one inclined at an angle beta. What would the angular separation between the rays reflected from the two surfaces?

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose initially the plane was horizontal and light was reflected back at some angle θ from the normal .

Now the reflecting surface is twisted so that is becomes inclined at angle alpha .

The reflected light will be deviated from its original direction by angle

2 x alpha .

Similarly when the reflecting surface is further twisted so that it becomes inclined at angle beta then again the reflected beam will deviated by angle

2 x beta

Hence angle between these two reflected beam

= 2 beta - 2 alpha

= 2 ( β - α )

So, angular separation between the rays reflected from the two surfaces

= 2 ( β - α ) .

The histogram below shows the number of downloads of a song over time.
Allisa [31]

Given data:

  • It is a graphical display where the data is grouped in to ranges
  • A diagram consists rectangles, whose area is proportional to frequency of a variable and whose width is equal to the class interval.
  • It is an accurate representation of the distribution of numerical data.

<em>From Figure:</em>  

        Each box in the graph (small rectangle box) is assumed to be one download. So, in the graph the time between 8 p.m to 9 p.m, the number of downloads are 8.75 approximately (because the last box is incomplete, therefore 8 complete boxes and 9th is more than half).

<em>So, We conclude that the total number of downloads are approximately 9 in the time span of 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.</em>

How does a television have a negative effect on the environment
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Too much screen time can be a bad thing: Children who consistently spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight. Kids who view violent acts on TV are more likely to show aggressive behavior, and to fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them. When we considered the whole television chain of production, distribution and consumption, we found that the largest environmental impact associated with a television programme was not the energy consumed in making it, but the energy used by the millions of televisions, set-top boxes and other consumer devices involved

Nicole throws a ball at 25 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees abound the horizontal. What is the range of the ball?
just olya [345]

Answer:

the range or the ball is 48.81 m

Explanation:

given;

Nicole throws a ball at 25 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees abound the horizontal.

find:

What is the range of the ball?

solution:

let Ф = 25°

Vo = 25 m/s

<u>consider x-motion using time of fight: x = Vox * t</u>

where x = R = range

t =<u> 2 Voy </u>

      g

R =<u> Vo² sin (2Ф)</u>

           g

plugin values into the formula:

R = <u>(25)² sin (2*25) </u>

               9.81

R = 48.81 m

therefore, the range or the ball is 48.81 m
