Can light be reflected and refracted at the same time?

1 answer:

6 0

Yes, think of a window for example. When you look out of it, you can see whatever is beyond the window. Sometimes, you might even see your own reflection in the window, if the light rays hit the glass and reflect your image in the right direction. This is often debated in quantum mechanics because of the outcome of an interaction between two particles. Another example would be water in a lake or perhaps your pool. You can see into the water, but sometimes, at your own reflection as well.

The change in surface area of Gaussian surface with radius (r) is 8πr.

<h3>Electric field from Coulomb's law</h3>

The electric field experienced by a charge is calculated as follows;

$E = \frac{Q}{4\pi \varepsilon_o r^2}$

where;

E is the electric field
Q is the charge
r is the radius

The electric field reduces by a factor of $\frac{1}{r^2}$

<h3>Surface area of a Gaussian surface;</h3>

The surface area of a sphere is given as;

$A = 4\pi r^2$

<h3>Change in area with r</h3>

$\frac{dA}{dr} = 8\pi r$

Thus, the change in surface area of Gaussian surface with radius (r) is 8πr.

Group one on the periodic table shares which characteristics.?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Group one on the periodic table, also known as the alkali metals, all:
- form ions with a charge of +1
- display similar extreme chemical behaviour
- have typical metallic properties
- are far too reactive to be found naturally in their pure forms

How is aperture measured? What do the measurements mean?

gulaghasi [49]

Aperture is measured in F-stops, in which the f-stops is the amount of light allowed to pass through the aperture, which simply put means that the smaller the aperture, the higher the f-stops. What it does is reduce the amount of light that reaches the film, so the higher the f-stops, the less light reaches the film.
