What happens when a ray of light is directed at a mirror, a glass block and a prism?

1 answer:

5 0

When it is directed at a mirror it is reflected
When it is directed at a glass block it refracts
When it is directed through a prism the light splits to form a spectrum ( red orange yellow green blue indigo and violet )

Hope this is ok

Ber [7]

Answer: D. it has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A Law is an affirmation (something established) based on repeated long-term observation of a phenomenon that has been studied and verified.

That is: A law is present in all known theories and therefore is considered universal. In addition, a law can not be refuted, nor changed, because its precepts have been proven through various studies.

Unlike theory, which is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon and is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it.

Then, based on what is explained above, the law of universal gravitation is a statement that exists because it was rigorously tested and verified, therefore it can not be refuted.

Could someone please explain to me Archimede's principle without using the term displace (or at least explaining what it means)?

disa [49]

Does this help?

When an object is immersed in a fluid (in this case water, but may include both liquids and gases) the fluid exerts an upward force on the object which is called buoyancy force or up-thrust. Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force (upward push or force) applied to an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object takes the space of by that object. Thus when an object is placed in water the rise in the water level is dictated by the mass of that object.

So for example if you fill a bucket with water and you drop a stone in that bucket, if you measure the weight of the water that overflows from the bucket due to the stone being dropped into the bucket is equivalent to the pushing force that the water has on the stone (as the stone drops to the bottom of the bucket the water is pushing it to stay afloat but the rock is more dense than water and as such its downthrust exceeds water's upthrust).

Light from a 560 nm monochromatic source is incident upon the surface of fused quartz (n=1. 56) at an angle of 60°. what is the

ankoles [38]

The angle of reflection is "60°".

Here we apply the law of the concept of reflection then we get the final answer easily.

The angle of incident = angle of reflection

Then, the Angle of the incident =60°

What is reflection?

Reflection is the phenomenon of light rays returning to the source after striking an obstruction.
It resembles the way a ball bounces when we toss it on a hard surface.
Some of the light rays that strike an item are reflected, some of them travel through it, and the remainder are absorbed by the object.
The given values are:Light from a monochromatic source,= 560 nm
The angle of incidence,= 60°
The surface of fused quartz (n),= 1.56
When a light ray does exist on a flat surface, the law or idea of reflection should apply since it includes both the reflected and "normal" light rays at the mirror surface.
According to the above law,Angle of incident = angle of reflection
Then, Angle of incident =60°.
