Why do satellites launched into low-Earth orbits not remain there indefinitely

Physics
1 answer:
-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago
4 0

The only way to remain in orbit indefinitely is to make sure that no part of the orbit passes through any air molecules. There are too many of those in a low earth orbit. So a low earth orbit gradually loses energy when the satellite hits air molecules.

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°.
