Why can you see your own reflected image in a mirror but not on a dry, painted wall?

1 answer:

7 0

A wall uses diffuse reflection while a mirror uses specular reflection. For example, when parallel light rays enter a mirror, they remain parallel when exiting the mirror, allowing you to see a reflection of the light rays. On the contrary, when incident light rays enter a wall which is painted, the rays scatter, not allowing you to see anything but a painted wall.

<h3>Answer :</h3>

First of all, See the attachment for better understanding $.$

_________________________________

❂ Weight of block A :

➝ mg sin30° = 18

➝ W (1/2) = 18

➝ W = 18×2

➝ W = 36N 

❂ Weight of block B :

➝ N sin30° = 18

➝ (Mg cos30°) sin30° = 18

➝ W' (√3/2)(1/2) = 18

➝ W' (√3/4) = 18

➝ W' = 72/√3

➝ W' = 41.61N

Answer:

The representation of a chemical reaction in the form of substances is known as a chemical equation. The equation in which the number of atoms of all the molecules is equal on both sides of the equation is known as a balanced chemical equation.

The Law of conservation of mass governs the balancing of a chemical equation.

According to this law, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction and obeying this law total mass of the elements or molecules present on the reactant side should be equal to the total mass of elements or molecules present on the produc
