How does a mirror affect the path of light?

Physics

yulyashka [42]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Select the properties that apply to superconductors.
makkiz [27]
made from pure metals . . . no;
they've been made from all kinds of weird compounds and alloys.
 
conduct electricity with zero resistance . . . yes;
that's why they're called "superconductors".

produce a strong magnetic field . . . possible, but not because it's a superconductor;
just like any other conductor, the magnetic field depends on the current that's flowing in the conductor.

no loss of energy in the transfer of electricity . . .
there's no loss of energy in the current flowing in the superconductor;
but if you tried to transfer the current out of the superconductor into
something else, then there would be some loss.

What color do glacier appear if they are moving towards us?
kirill [66]

Answer:

Subcategories: Ice field

Explanation:

Glacier ice is blue because the red (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by ice and the blue (short wavelengths) light is transmitted and scattered. The longer the path light travels in ice, the more blue it appears.

A tank is full of oil weighing 40 lb/ft^3. The tank is an inverted right circular cone (with the base at the top) with a height
krok68 [10]

Answer:

26945.6 ft⋅lbf

Explanation:

Volume of Right Circular Cone = pi*(radius^2)*(height/3)

Pi*(4)*(5/3) = 20.94 ft^3

Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = Density*Volume

Mass = (40)*(20.94)

Mass = 837.6 lb

Work = Force*Height

Force = Mass*Acceleration

Acceleration will be gravitational acceleration

Work = (837.6)*(32.17)*(1)

Work = 26945.6 ft⋅lbf
