What happens to light when it strikes the inside surface of a smooth, curved mirror? It bounces in random directions. It bounces

back toward a single spot. It passes through the mirror and moves in random directions. It passes through the mirror and moves in a straight line.

This is a concave mirror you're talking about, so all of the points are going to converge to a single focal point. Therefore the answer would be that it bounces back toward a single spot

Answer:

It bounces back towards a single spot.

Explanation:

When the light ray strikes to the inner surface of smooth, curved mirror (concave mirror), it bounces back at a single point and the point is called the focal point of the concave mirror.

When a ray of light parallel to principal axis strikes to the concave mirror, then after reflection it goes through the focus, i.e., at a single spot.

What is the difference between speed and velocity?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

speed is the rate of change in distance thus it is scalar physical quantity

while velocity is the rate of change in displacement thus it is a vector physical quantity

Explanation:

vector physical quantity: is a quantity that requires both magnitude and direction to identify

scalar quantity: requires only magnitude to identify.

If the car’s speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h in 3.0 s, what is the magnitude of its acceleration, ass
mixas84 [53]

Answer:3.874 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Car speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h

in 3 sec

60mi/h \approx 26.8224m/s

34mi/h \approx 15.1994 m/s

we know acceleration is given by =\frac{velocity}{Time}

a=\frac{15.1994-26.8224}{3}

a=-3.874 m/s^2

negative indicates that it is stopping the car

Distance traveled

v^2-u^2=2as

\left ( 15.1994\right )^2-\left ( 26.8224\right )^2=2\left ( -3.874\right )s

s=\frac{488.419}{2\times 3.874}

s=63.038 m

A scuba diver is sitting on a boat while waiting to go on a dive and sees light reflected from the water's surface. At what angl
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

θ_p = 53.0º

Explanation:

For reflection polarization occurs when a beam is reflected at the interface between two means, the polarization in total when the angle between the reflected and the transmitted beam is 90º

Let's write the transmission equation

     n1 sin θ₁ = ne sin θ₂

The angle to normal (vertcal) is

    180 = θ2 + 90 + θ_p

    θ₂ = 90 - θ_p

Where θ₂ is the angle of the transmitted ray θ_p is the angle of the reflected polarized ray

We replace

     n1 sin θ_p = n2 sin (90 - θ_p)

Let's use the trigonometry relationship

    Sin (90- θ_p) = sin 90 cos θ_p - cos 90 sin θ_p = cos θ_p

In the law of reflection  incident angle equals reflected angle,  

    ni sin θ_p = ns cos θ_p

    n₂ / n₁ = sin θ_p / cos θ_p

    n₂ / n₁ = tan θ_p

    θ_p = tan⁻¹ (n₂ / n₁)

Now we can calculate it

The refractive index of air is 1 (n1 = 1) the refractive index of seawater varies between 1.33 and 1.40 depending on the amount of salts dissolved in the water

n₂ = 1.33

      θ_p = tan⁻¹ (1.33 / 1)

      θ_p = 53.0º

n₂ = 1.40

      θ_p = tan⁻¹ (1.40 / 1)

      Tep = 54.5º
