Light incident on a surface at an angle of 45° undergoes diffused reflection. At what angle will it reflect?

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

D. at any angle between -90° and 90°

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand the difference between specular reflection and diffuse reflection:

- Specular reflection occurs when the surface hit by the light is perfectly smooth. In this case, the law of reflection states that the angle at which the light is reflected is equal to the angle of incidence of the light (measured relative to the normal to the surface)

- Diffuse reflection occurs when the surface hit by the light is rough. In this case, the law of reflection is still valid for every ray of light hitting the surface; however, due to the imperfections of the surface, each ray of light hits the surface at a different angle of incidence. This means that the angle of reflection for each ray will be different, so light is reflected in any direction between -90 degrees and 90 degrees, which corresponds to the minimum and the maximum angle of reflection measured relative the normal to the surface.

Capacitors C1 = 5.85 µF and C2 = 2.80 µF are charged as a parallel combination across a 250 V battery. The capacitors are discon

posledela

Answer:

Q1_new = 515.68 µC

Q2_new = 246.82 µC

Explanation:

Since the capacitors are charged in parallel and not in series, then both are at 250 V when they are disconnected from the battery.

Then it is only necessary to calculate the charge on each capacitor:

Q1 = 5.85 µF * 250 V = 1462.5 µC

Q2 = 2.8 µF * 250 V = 700 µC

Now, we will look at 1462.5 µC as excess negative charges on one plate, and 1462.5 µC as excess positive charges on the other plate. Now, we will use this same logic for the smaller capacitor.

When there is a connection of positive plate of C1 to the negative plate of C2, and also a connection of the negative plate of C1 to the positive plate of C2, some of these excess opposite charges will combine and cancel each other. The result is that of a net charge:

1462.5 µC - 700 µC = 762.5 µC

Thus,762.5 µC of net charge will remain in the 'new' positive and negative plates of the resulting capacitor system.

This 762.5 µC will be divided proportionately between the two capacitors.

Q1_new = 762.5 µC * (5.85/(5.85 + 2.8)) = 515.68 µC

Q2_new = 762.5 µC * (2.8/(5.85 + 2.8) = 246.82 µC
