Answer:
The angle of reflection is the angle the reflected rays make with a perpendicular line to the reflecting surface.
Explanation:
Reflection It is the change of direction suffered by a luminous ray when hitting the surface of an object. The angle of reflection is that which is formed by the reflected ray and the normal vector to the study surface
The problem you would encounter is measuring the height of two different people, a tall one and a short one, and getting the same answer for both of them.
No matter WHAT we're hearing out of the White House these days, you CAN'T bend and stretch your standard measuring devices, or any other 'facts', to make them fit the thing that you're measuring. This does not work. You're always entitled to your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts.
Thermal energy transformation is taking place.
-- The speed of light in air is very close to 3 x 10⁸ m/s.
Whatever the actual number is, it's equivalent to roughly
7 times around the Earth in 1 second. So for this kind of
problem, you can assume that we see things at the same time
that they happen; don't bother worrying about how long it takes
for the light to reach you.
-- For sound, it's a different story. Sound in air only travels at
about 340 m/s. It takes sound almost 5 seconds to go 1 mile.
-- Now, the lightning and thunder happen at the same time.
The light travels to you at the speed of light, so you see the
lightning pretty much when it happens. But the sound of the
thunder comes poking along at 340 m/s, and arrives AFTER
the sight of the lightning.
The length of time between the sight and the sound is about
99.9999% the result of the time it takes the sound to reach you.
If the thunder arrived at you 3 seconds after the light did, then
the sound traveled
(340 m/s) x (3 s) = 1,020 meters .
(about 0.63 of a mile)
(If you're worried about ignoring the time it takes
for the light to reach you ...
It takes light 0.0000034 second to cover the same 1,020 meters,
so including it in the calculation would not change the answer.)
The answer is (a).
Golf balls have a higher density than water hence sink to the bottom.
