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.

inn [45]

Step-by-step answer:

Answer to problems of this kind is the reciprocal of the harmonic mean of the time required.

We need to find the average of the speeds, not the average of the time.

The respective speeds are 1/3 and 1/4.

The average of the speeds is therefore (1/3+1/4)/2 = 7/24  (harmonic mean of the time taken).

The time required is therefore the reciprocal of the unit speed,

T = 1/(7/24) = 24/7 = 3 3/7 minutes, or approximately 3.43 minutes.
