Parallel light rays which fall on a smooth surface(a mirror) are reflected as parallel rays. This is called REGULAR REFLECTION. Whereas, parallel rays which fall on an irregular surface(The ground) are reflected in different directions. This is called irregular reflection.

Sound certainly can travel around corners. Sound can also travel through hard surfaces like walls and bathroom surfaces as well.


What surfaces will a toy car travel the least distance?

A toy car will travel the least distance on surfaces with high friction, such as rough terrain, carpet, or surfaces with obstacles that cause resistance. Smooth surfaces like glass or ice may also reduce the distance traveled due to lack of traction.


What happens if you travel through time?

Nothing happens, because it's impossible.


What ultimately happens to the energy of sound in the air?

The energy of sound in the air is eventually dissipated and transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat, as the sound waves travel through the air and interact with various objects and surfaces.


What layer of earth will waves travel through faster?

The mantle of course.....because sound waves travel through liquid like surfaces better than solid rock.


What is 4 ways light waves can travel?

Light waves can travel can travel in different ways depending on the object. It can travel through a vacuum which is a complete airless place, mirror, but sound has to travel through a solid or gas.


Can bullets ricochet off surfaces?

Yes, bullets can ricochet off surfaces, especially hard and smooth surfaces like concrete or metal. Ricocheting occurs when a bullet strikes a surface at an angle and bounces off in a different direction. This can pose a danger to individuals nearby, as the bullet can travel unpredictably after ricocheting.

Can light travel through brick?

no if an object is OPAQUE then light can't travel through it (unless it has a hole in it)


Why is it impossible for sound to travel through outer space?

Sound requires a medium, such as air, water, or solid surfaces, to travel through. In outer space, there is no medium for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot propagate in the vacuum of space.
