Differentiate regular reflection from irregular reflection?
1.Regular Reflection takes place only on a smooth and higly polished surface.Eg. Mirror 2.Regular reflection has application of laws of reflections. 1. Irregular(diffuse) reflection takes place on irregular surfaces , with high no. of grooves. Eg. walls 2. Laws of reflection do not apply in irregular relfection.
What acts only between surfaces that are in contact?
Friction
What happen to the force of friction if the surface of contact is polished?
Friction is still there and gravity causes that, if there is no gravity there is no friction. Only in your case friction is reduced because there is less drag because of the polished surface it is not harder to move along the surface. (assuming there is a force moving the object on top of the surface)
A rough surface reflects light in many directions.?
All surfaces reflect light. However, only the smoothest surfaces reflect all light in one direction. These are shiny and include mirrors and metal. Some surfaces just reflect the light in all directions, which is why you cannot see the reflection.

What metamorphic rock is made from limestone that is smooth and contains shiny crystals?
Marble. The crystals are ofcalcite (calcium carbonate). It's only smooth when polished, but it takes a high polish.
Is marble shiny?
Yes, marble is naturally shiny due to its smooth and reflective surface. However, the level of shine can vary depending on the finish applied to the marble, such as polished, honed, or matte finishes.
Why does acid rain make statues with decorated carvings dissolve faster than statues with smooth surfaces?
Because acid is acidic, obviously it burns/dissolves the statue quicker than normal rain. that, and the acid rain stays in the rough surfaces of the carvings, whereas it just drops off smooth surfaces, leaving only a small trail of acid

When recommending paint rollers how should you determine the appropriate length of the nap on the roller?
I use he shortest nap only for enamel paints on very smooth walls or cabinets. (ie bathroom or kitchen gloss surfaces) The next longer nap size is most commonly used almost universally with enamel, alkyd or latex paints on many wall surfaces or smooth ceilings. The longest nap is only used on rough or textured ceiling with latex paints..
Is bronze shinny?
Only if it's been polished.
What shape has only flat surfaces?
cube There are a great many solid shapes that have only flat surfaces.
Do sharp hard corners absorb sound?
sound travels in waves. If you have a hard, smooth, flat surface, the sound waves will bounce right back, without absorbing anything. However, if you have a soft irregular surface, the vibrations are easily trapped in the material. It's a pretty vague explanation, but
