What happens to light when it strikes a smooth shiny surface?

Mathematics

Answer:

When light strikes an object, its rays can be either absorbed or reflected. A solid black object absorbs almost all light, while a shiny smooth surface, such as a mirror, reflects almost all light back. When reflected off a flat mirror, light bounces off at an angle equal to the angle it struck the object.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Light reflects from a smooth surface at the same angle as it hits the surface. For a smooth surface, reflected light rays travel in the same direction. This is called specular reflection. For a rough surface, reflected light rays scatter in all directions.

Step-by-step explanation:

v=√16.√300

v= 4. 10√3

A client's inventory is recorded at $600,000 and is comprised of 1,000 items. The auditors examined a sample of items with a rec
KonstantinChe [14]

Based on the calculation done below, the estimated audited value for inventory is $540,000.

<h3>How is the estimated audited value for inventory calculated?</h3>

This can be calculated using the following formula:

E = (T / S) * A ……………………… (1)

E = Estimated audited value for inventory = ?

T = Total value of inventory recorded by client = $600,000

S = Value of inventory sampled by the auditor as recorded by the client = $100,000

A = Audited value of the inventory sampled = $90,000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

E = ($600,000 / $100,000) * $90,000

E = 6 * $90,000

E = $540,000

Therefore, the estimated audited value for inventory is $540,000.

If the third term in an arithmetic sequence is 7 and the common difference is -5, what is the value of the fourth term?
pochemuha
The is Answer:

82

Explanation:

We observe that difference between first and second terms <span>=12−5=7</span>
Similarly difference between second and third terms <span>=19−12=7</span>

It shows that the given sequence of numbers is an arithmetic progression with common difference equal to 7.

We know that <span>nth</span> term of an AP whose first term is <span>a1</span> and whose common difference is d is given by 
<span><span>an</span>=<span>a1</span>+<span>(n–1)</span>d</span>

To find the <span>12th</span> term, insert given values in the general expression
<span><span>a12</span>=5+<span>(12–1)</span>7</span>
<span><span>a12</span>=5+<span>(11)</span>7=5+77=<span>82</span></span>
