How to measure the thickness of piece of paper?

The simple way is with a screw micrometer, just put the paper in, do up the jaws with the ratchet and there is your answer. I would measure in a few places and average the results for best accuracy. If you don't happen to have a screw micrometer you could get a rough answer by measuring a stack of paper (say a ream of 500 sheets) with a ruler and dividing the answer by the number of sheets.


Is a regular reflection the reflection of light from a rough surface?

with rough surface, the light hitting it will reflect incoherently, meaning it will be scattered in every direction and with smooth surfaces like ice or mirror the light will reflect coherently, all going in the same direction


What type of reflection would you get from sandpaper?

You would get a Diffused Reflection.


Why is light scattering by diffused reflection important?

Specular reflection is from smooth surfaces, and the light is reflected at a definite angle. Diffuse reflection is from rough surfaces, and the light is scattered in all directions. The difference between Specular Reflection and a Diffuse Reflection is that Specular Reflection is from a mirror- like surface, which creates an image of its surroundings. Diffuse reflection is from a rough surface, which does not create a clear image but instead allows you to see what is on the surface.

Why do you not see your reflection when you look at a building made of rough white stone?

Because the surface isn't polished enough to reflect. If it was polished marble or any other polished stone, you might be able to see a reflection. It would be equivalent to getting a reflection from rough concrete, it wont happen. The rough surface of stone or concrete scatters the light reflecting off of it.


Why would a crumpled piece of paper hit the ground before a flat piece of paper?

Because a flat piece of paper has a larger surface area and therefore more wind resistance. But in a crumbled piece of paper the wind resistance is less.

If you folded a piece a paper 50 times how tall would it be?

A normal piece of paper is about 0.0038 inches thick. So, if the paper were to be folded 50 times, it would become, essentially, 1,125,899,906,842,624 pieces of paper stacked upon one another. Therefore, you would multiply the above number by 0.0038 and that would be 4278419646001.97 inches or 67,525,562.594 miles of paper. So, a normal 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper folded 50 times would be 67,525,562.594 miles, which is 141 times the distance the Moon is to the Earth.
