Answer: As per the question, a ray of light is incident on a surface and it is partly reflected and refracted. The incident light is an unpolarised light. The reflected light is partially polarised.

If the angle of incidence becomes equal to the Brester angle (polarising angle), then the reflected light is completely plane polarised.

The incident ray is a ray that hits the surface of the water. A reflected ray will always correspond to the incident ray and it is the light that is reflected by the surface of the water. Meaning, all rays that hit are incident rays, however, some are reflected rays.

What is the definition of work when net force is parallel to the distance?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Work in general is given by W=F·d where F is the force vector and d is the displacement vector.  The dot symbol is the dot product which is a measure of how parallel two vectors are.  It can be replaced by the cosine of the angle between the two vectors and the vectors replaced by their magnitudes.  If F and d are parallel then the angle is zero and the cosine is unity.  So in this case work can be defined as the product of the magnitudes of the force and distance:

If the airman had a mass of 80 kg, find the magnitude of the air drag acting on him when he reached terminal velocity of 54 m/s
Vlad1618 [11]

The magnitude of the air drag is 784 N

Explanation:

An object falling down reaches the terminal velocity when the magnitude of the air drag acting on it becomes equal to the weight of the object. Mathematically, this condition can be written as:

F_D = mg

where

F_D is the magnitude of the air drag

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

In this problem, we have

m = 80 kg is the mass of the airman

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Substituting into the formula, we find:

F_D = (80)(9.8)=784 N

radio signals emitted from and received by an airplane have her fruit frequency of 3.00 * 10 to the 12th Hertz and travel at the
Elanso [62]

here we know that the speed of the signal is same as the speed of light

so here we will have

v = 3 \times 10^8 m/s

the altitude of the airplane is given as

h = 1 \times 10^4 m

now we know that time taken by the signal to reach the control tower is given as

t = \frac{d}{v}

now it is given as

t = \frac{1 \times 10^4 }{3 \times 10^8}

t = 3.33 \times 10^{-5} s

so above is the time taken by the signal to reach the control tower
