How does a mirror affect the path of light?

Physics

Light rays change direction when they hit a mirror. The phenomenon is known as reflection. Light rays travels in a straight light. They strike the surface of the mirror at a particular angle called incident angle. It is the angle between the ray and normal at the point of contact. The rays leaves the surface making the same angle with the normal called reflection angle but in different direction.

Why does the chord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does​
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The heating element of the heater is made up of alloy which has very high resistance so when current flows through the heating element, it becomes too hot and glows red. But the resistance of cord which is usually of copper or aluminum is very low so it does not glow.

Your boss asks you to design a room that can be as soundproof as possible and provides you with three samples of material. The o
ivolga24 [154]

The correct answer is A.

The coefficient of absorption of material A is 30%. So, the material will absorb 30% energy of the incident wave falling on it. Thus, the reflected wave will carry the rest 70% energy.

The coefficient of absorption of material B is 47%. So, the material will absorb 47% energy of the incident wave falling on it. Thus, the reflected wave will carry the rest 53% energy.

The coefficient of absorption of material C is 62%. So, the material will absorb 62% energy of the incident wave falling on it. Thus, the reflected wave will carry the rest 28% energy.

Hence, material C would be the best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.

Three short square wood blocks measuring 3.5 per side support a machine weighing 29500 lbs. What is the compressive stress in th
Ilya [14]

Answer:

D. 803 lbs

Explanation:

In order to find the compressive stress on all three blocks we first need to find the normal surface area of each:

Surface Area of 1 Block = 3.5 x 3.5

Surface Area of 1 Block = 12.25

Surface Area of all 3 Blocks = A = 3 x 12.25

Area = 36.75

Now, the stress is given by the following formula:

Stress = Force/Area

Stress = 29500 lbs/36.75

Stress = 802.72 lbs

Hence, the correct option will be:

<u>D. 803 lbs</u>
