Explain how both kinds of reflection obey the law of reflection?
The angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. In regular reflection, parallel rays strike are reflected from smooth surface at the same angle in diffuse reflection, parallel rays strike and are reflected from a bumpy surface at different angles.
Where does the earth receive direct sunlight?
The Earth receives direct sunlight at the equator, where rays of the sun strike the surface at a perpendicular angle due to the Earth's tilt. This results in more intense and direct sunlight at these regions, leading to warmer temperatures.
Are gamma rays the same size as beta rays?
no
If the gamma rays and X-rays have the same frequency what will the electron have?
If the gamma rays and X-rays have the same frequency, the electron will have the same energy regardless of which type of radiation is interacting with it. The energy of the electron is determined by the frequency of the radiation it absorbs, not the type of radiation.
Does Eratosthenes determine Earth's diameter?
Yes, Eratosthenes estimated the Earth's diameter using the angle of the sun's rays at two different locations on the same day. By measuring the difference in the angles, he was able to calculate the Earth's circumference and thus its diameter.
What happens to the temperature as the angle at which the Sun's Rays strike earth's surface increases as the angle decreases what happens to the length of shadows at the same time?
pie
What happens to temperature as the angle at which the sun's rays strike the earth's surface increases. As the angle decreases. What happens to the length of the shadows at the same time?
As the angle at which the sun's rays strike the Earth's surface increases, the temperature tends to decrease. As the angle decreases, temperature tends to increase. At the same time, as the sun's angle decreases, shadows appear longer because the light is being cast at a greater angle.
What happen when light rays strike at a slant?
They bounce off at the same angle as they went in at.
How does the angle at which the Suns rays strike the earth affect the temperature at earth surface?
If the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface at a direct spot, which is usually around the equator, that area would be the warmest. Any area that is far away from the sun's rays is usually cold.
What is the bouncing of light rays called?
The bouncing of light rays is called reflection. When light rays strike a surface and return back in the same direction, it is known as reflection.
Does the sun's rays strike earth at an angle during the winter?
The sun rises each year at the South Pole about September 21 and sets each year about March 21. This means six months with no sunsets. The maximum height of the sun above the horizon is only 23.5 degrees, so you could consider it less sun, except that you don't offer a comparison.
Do sunbeams strike the surface of the earth at the same angle everywhere?
Sunbeams do NOT strike the Earth's surface at the same angle. Like dusk some places have an angular strike during the winter months. This is the main reason we have seasons.
Does the angle that the Suns rays strike a region of Earth determines the amount of heat transferred?
Yes, the angle at which the Sun's rays strike a region of Earth influences the amount of heat energy that is transferred. When the Sun is more directly overhead (higher angle), the rays are concentrated over a smaller area, which increases the amount of energy received per unit area, leading to higher temperatures. At lower angles, the same amount of energy is spread over a larger area, resulting in less heating.
Explain how both kinds of reflection obey the law of reflection?
The angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. In regular reflection, parallel rays strike are reflected from smooth surface at the same angle in diffuse reflection, parallel rays strike and are reflected from a bumpy surface at different angles.
Why do the sun's rays strike the moon?
Because the moon encounters the direct sun as it rotates around the earth. Viewed from earth the moon can appear as a full moon, half moon, crescent or anything in between. Also as the moon is high in orbit around the earth, the moon can show the reflection of the sun, even though the sun has set below the horizon or has not yet risen.
What is the year that earths hemispheres receive the same amount of energy from the sun?
Earth's hemispheres receive approximately the same amount of energy from the sun during the equinoxes, which occur around March 20th and September 22nd each year. At these times, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the sun's rays to strike the Earth more directly at the equator, resulting in equal daylight and darkness across the globe.
Why would gamma rays and light waves reach the earth at the same time?
Gamma rays and light waves can reach Earth at the same time if they are emitted simultaneously from the same event, such as a supernova explosion. Since both travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, they can arrive on Earth together, despite having different properties and wavelengths.
