Answer:

Regular reflection

Explanation:

- Reflection is the phenomenon that occurs when a light wave hits the interface between two different mediums and it bounces off back into the same medium. The angle of reflection (measured between the reflected ray and the perpendicular to the interface) is equal to the angle of incidence (measured between the incident ray and the perpendicular to the interface).

There are two different types of reflection:

- Regular reflection: this occurs when the interface between the two mediums is smooth (such as in the case of the still lake), so all the parallel light waves (which have same angle of incidence) are reflected exactly with the same angle of reflection (so, they come out all with same direction)

- Diffuse reflection: this occurs when the interface between the two mediums is not smooth, so each light ray is reflected with a different angle because it hits the interface with a different angle of incidence.

Therefore, in the case of the still lake, the correct answer is regular reflection.

Your friend says that if Newton’s third law is correct, no object would ever start moving. Here is his argument: You pull a sled
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

You pull a sled exerting a 50 N force on it , sled also exerts a force on you . These forces are action and reaction force , as per third law of Newton . These two forces are equal and  opposite . But they do not act on the same object so they do not cancel each other . They act on different objects , one on the sledge and the other on you . Due to force on sledge , sledge moves in the direction of force or towards you . You will start moving in opposite direction if frictional force of ground is nil or less .

What is an element that needs to lose or gain<br> 4 valence electrons in order to become<br> stable?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Elements in Group 14 could lose four, or gain four electrons to achieve a noble gas structure. In fact, if they are going to form ions, Group 14 elements form positive ions. Carbon and silicon form covalent bonds. Carbon's millions of organic compounds are all based on shared electrons in covalent bonds.
