What happens to a light ray if it is incident on a reflective surface along the normal?

Bad White [126]2 years ago

Answer: The incident ray and the reflected ray and the normal will be parallel to each other.

Explanation:

The normal is perpendicular to the surface of the mirror or the reflective surface.

According to the law of reflection which state that:

The angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection on a smooth surface.

If a light ray is incident on a reflective surface along the normal. The angle of incidence will be at 90 degrees which will be perpendicular to the surface of the mirror, the reflected ray will bounce back likewise at the same angle which will be perpendicular to the reflective surface.

Both the incident ray and the reflected ray and the normal will be parallel to each other.

Projectile's horizontal range on level ground is R=v20sin2θ/g. At what launch angle or angles will the projectile land at half o

seraphim [82]

Answer:

$\theta = 15^o \: or\: 75^o$

Explanation:

As we know that the formula of range is given as

$R = \frac{v^2sin2\theta}{g}$

now we know that

maximum value of the range of the projectile is given as

$R_{max} = \frac{v^2}{g}$

now we need to find such angles for which the range is half the maximum value

so we will have

$\frac{R}{2} = \frac{v^2}{2g} = \frac{v^2sin(2\theta)}{g}$

$sin(2\theta) = \frac{1}{2}$

$2\theta = 30 or 150$

$\theta = 15^o \: or\: 75^o$

In 1996, astronomers discovered an icy object beyond pluto that was given the designation 1996 tl 66. it has a semimajor axis of

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer : 2446 years.

Explanation :

Length of semi major axis is, $a=84\ au= 1.496\times 10^{11}\ m$

According to Kepler's third law, square of time period of an orbit is directly proportional to the cube of the semi major axis.

i.e $T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3$

where G is gravitational constant

M is mass of sun, $M=1.98\times 10^{30}\ Kg$

So, $T^2=\dfrac{4\times (3.14)^2}{6.6\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/Kg\times 1.98\times 10^{30}\Kg}$

$T^2=3\times 10^{-19}\times(84\times 1.496\times 10^{11})^3$

$T^2=3\times 10^{-19}\times 1984415.6\times 10^{33}$

$T^2=59532469.8\times 10^{14}\ s$

$T=7715.7\times 10^7\ s$

since, $1\ sec=3.17\times 10^{-8}\ years$

So, orbital period is approximately 2446 years.
