Answer:

true

Explanation:

Reflection is when light bounces off an object. If the surface is smooth and shiny, like glass, water or polished metal, the light will reflect at the same angle as it hit the surface. ... This is called diffuse reflection. Diffuse reflection is when light hits an object and reflects in lots of different directions.

A hiker, caught in a rainstorm might absorb 1 liter of water in her clothing. if it is windy so that this amount of water is eva

Water evaporates at 100⁰C

So change in temperature = 100-20 = 80⁰C

Amount of water to be evaporated = 1 liter = 1L*1kg/liter = 1 kg

Specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram ⁰C = 4.186 joule/gram =4186 J/kg

So heat required E = mcΔT = 1 * 4186 *80= 334880 J =334.88 kJ

So amount of heat require to evaporate water = 334.88 kJ

Why would you expect the speed of light to be slightly less in the atmosphere then in a vacuum?

azamat

The speed of light to be slightly less in atmosphere then in vacuum because of absorption and re-emission of light by the atmospheric molecules occurred when light travels through a material

<u>Explanation:</u>

When light passes through atmosphere, it interacts or transmits through the transparent molecules in atmosphere. In this process of transmission through atmosphere, the light will be getting absorbed by them and some will get re-emitted or refracted depending upon wavelength.

But in vacuum the absence of any kind of particles will lead to no interaction and no energy loss, thus the speed of the light will be same in vacuum while due to interactions with molecules of atmosphere, there speed will be slightly less compared to in vacuum.
