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

Mathematics

user100 [1]3 years ago

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:

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.

What is 20 5/81 in simplest form
Marizza181 [45]
20 5/81 in its simplest form is 20 5/81.

20 5/81 originally looks like this ⇒ 1625/81

((20 * 81)+5)/81 = (1620+5)/81 = 1625/81   * this is an improper fraction because the numerator is greater than the denominator. Improper fractions must be converted to proper fractions. It will then become a mixed fraction.

A poster is to have a total area of 125 cm2. There is a margin round the edges of 6 cm at the top and 4 cm at the sides and bott
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is 15 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the required poster be a cm.

We need to have a 6 cm margin at the top and a 4 cm margin at the bottom. Thus total margin combining top and bottom is 10 cm.

Similarly total margin combining both the sides is (4+4=) 8 cm.

So the required printing area of the poster is given by {( a-10 ) × ( a - 8) } cm^{2}

This area is equal to 125 cm^{2} as per as the given problem.

∴ (a - 10) × (a - 8) = 125

⇒ a^{2} - 18 a +80 -125 =0

⇒ a^{2} - 18 a -45 = 0

⇒ (a-15) (a-3) = 0

By law of trichotomy the possible values of a are 15 and 3.

But a=3 is absurd as a > 4.

Thus the required answer is 15 cm.
