If mirror is so rotated through 20° , by what angle reflected ray on mirror rotates???​

Physics
1 answer:
Drupady [299]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Look at the mirror from the positive axis and  suppose the incident ray is at angle at 40 from the y-axis

Incident ray at 50 deg

reflected ray at 130 deg

total angle of deflection = 130 - 50 = 80 deg

Now rotate the mirror by 20 deg

incident ray at 30 deg

reflected ray at 150 deg    (angle of incidence must equal angle of reflection)

total angle of deflection = 150 - 30 = 120 deg

the difference between 2 reflected rays = 120 - 80 = 40 deg

So if you increase (decrease) the incident angle the reflected ray will  be increased by twice the angle of rotation of the mirror - or the perpendicular to the mirror increases by X degrees the angles of incidence and reflection will each increase by X deg

A satellite is a body that revolves around another larger body. Where the larger body has a stronger gravitational pull on the smaller body, keeping it in orbit. Thus the moon is the satellite of the Earth is a good example of this.

Light is shining perpendicularly on the surface of the earth with an intensity of 680 W/m^2. Assuming that all the photons in th

Answer:

3.066×10^21  photons/(s.m^2)

Explanation:

The power per area is:

Power/A = (# of photons /t /A)×(energy / photon)

E/photons = h×c/(λ)

photons /t /A = (Power/A)×λ /(h×c)  

photons /t /A = (P/A)×λ/(hc)

photons /t /A = (680)×(678×10^-9)/(6.63×10^-34)×(3×10^-8)

                      = 3.066×10^21

Therefore, the number of photons per second per square meter 3.066×10^21  photons/(s.m^2).
