A wall uses diffuse reflection while a mirror uses specular reflection. For example, when parallel light rays enter a mirror, they remain parallel when exiting the mirror, allowing you to see a reflection of the light rays. On the contrary, when incident light rays enter a wall which is painted, the rays scatter, not allowing you to see anything but a painted wall.
The correct response that will be used to describe this particular element would be the third option, since all of the other options are incorrect and apply to different elements in their groups. The element is a metal and will react with a non metal.
B. they both involve wave interaction.
Answer:
D. 12 cm
Explanation:
A node is a point on a standing wave that does not vibrate.
The nodes of a standing wave are shown in the following sketch.
The red dots are the nodes of the standing wave.
It is observed that the distance between two adjacent nodes is half the wavelength of the wave.
Therefore, if the wavelength of the wave is 24 cm, then the distance from one node to the net must be 24 / 2 = 12 cm.
Hence, choice D is the correct answer.
