Answer:

The types of reflection are; specular and diffuse. This depends on the fine or smooth nature of the surface where reflection occurs.

A mirror has a smoother surface than that of a yellow vase. So there would be a specular reflection when light strikes a mirror, but a diffuse reflection when it strikes the solid yellow vase.

Explanation:

Reflection is one of the properties of light waves which can be observed when light strikes a smooth plane surface. It is the throwing of light back through its initial path. In reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

There are two types of reflection; specular and diffuse. Specular reflection occurs when light rays are reflected from a fine smooth surface, while diffuse reflection is observed when light rays are reflected in all directions due to the rough nature of the surface. Comparing the surfaces of a mirror and vase, that of a mirror is smoother than that of a vase. So there would be a specular reflection when light strikes a mirror, but a diffuse reflection when it strikes a solid yellow vase.

If the moon moved closer to the earth, how would the gravitational force between them change?.
hichkok12 [17]

If the moon moved closer to the earth, The gravitational force between them will increase.

This can be understood by Newton's law of universal gravitation. This is usually stated as that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

F_{gravitation} = G\frac{M_{1} M_{2}}{r^{2} }

If the moon moved closer to earth, the distance between them will be reduced, and as the force of gravitation is inversely proportional to the distance between the masses, the gravitation force increases.

In the simple Bohr model of the eighth excited state of the hydrogen atom, the electron travels in a circular orbit around a fix
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Net force on electron will be 12.568\times 10^{-12}N            

Explanation:

We have given that the orbit r=4.28\times 10^{-9}m

Speed of the electron v=2.43\times 10^5m/sec

Mass of the electron is given as m=9.11\times 10^{-31}kg

Centripetal acceleration is given by a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{(2.43\times 10^5)^2}{4.28\times 10^{-9}}=1.3796\times 10^{19}m/sec^2

Force is given by F = ma

So force F=9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 1.3796\times 10^{19}=12.568\times 10^{-12}N

To what circuit element is an ideal capacitor equivalent in circuits for which the currents and voltages are constant with time?
Vanyuwa [196]

Explanation:

Since the current flowing through an ideal capacitor is described by equation:

i_{C}=C\frac{dV}{dt}

for voltage across the capacitor constant with time the current is:

i_{C}=\frac{d(Constant)}{dt}=0

Open switch has this characteristics (Constant voltage and zero current).

On April 15, 1999, a South Korean cargo plane crashed due to a confusion over units. The plane was to fly from Shanghai, China,
sattari [20]

Answer:

993 m or 3257 ft

Explanation:

The captain was told to fly at at 1500 ft altitude. At the rate of 3.28 ft to 1 m, this is

\dfrac{1500}{3.28}=457 metres.

Since he was at 1450 m, he thought he was above the correct altitude by

1450 - 457 = 993 m.

In feet, this is

993 * 3.28 = 3257 ft
