due to friction force

∙ 11y ago
When a match stick is rubbed on a rough surface, the friction creates heat. The heat then ignites the chemicals on the match head, specifically the phosphorus and sulfur, which undergo a chemical reaction with the oxygen in the air. This reaction produces a flame, causing the match stick to light.

What occurs when a parrellel rays of light hits a rough surface?
The light rays are deflected off at the same angles as the angles on the rough surface.
Is light reflected evenly on rough surface?
No, it is not.
What happens when parallel rays of light hit a rough or bumpy surface?

Does light reflect off a rough surface?
It can reflect off a rough surface but the image is not clear ,causing an irregular reflection.
What happened to light ray as they hit a rough surface?
The light is scattered. Some of the light may be absorbed, depending on the surface.
When a mineral is rubbed on a rough surface it leaves a streak or luster?
a luster
Is friction greater when two rough surface are rubbed together or two smooth surfaces?
two rough surfaces :)
What refers to the color of powder scraped off a mineral when it is rubbed against a hard rough surface?
The color of the powder left on the rough surface by a mineral is called its streak. The streak plate is a hard surface that helps to determine the different shades and characteristics of the minerals that is rubbed on it.
Would a rough surface have more or less friction than a smooth surface as you rubbed your hand across it?
more
What do you call the reflection of light from a rough surface?
Reflection of light from a rough surface is known as "Diffused" or "Irregular" reflection, because the light rays are barely seen after the reflection of light from a rough surface.
What happens when light hits a rough surface?
when light hits a rough surface it scattters.
Why does a smooth object glide when rubbed over a smooth surface?
Because if there are no rough edges then there is less resistance.
What occurs when a parrellel rays of light hits a rough surface?

Is light reflected evenly on rough surface?
No, it is not.

What does light do when it strikes a surface that is not smooth?
When light strikes a rough surface it reflects in essentially random directions.
Does light reflect off a rough surface?
It can reflect off a rough surface but the image is not clear ,causing an irregular reflection.
