Why the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection?
Because light alway bounces of an object at the same angle that it hit the object
What is the definition for angle of insolation?
The angle the sun's rays hit a given surface on Earth.And the angle is measured from the horizon up to the position of the sun
Which angle hits a mirror or glass block?
The angle does not hit anything! A ray of light hits a mirror or glass block and the angle that the ray makes with the vertical at the point of contact is the angle of incidence.
What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror?
They are reflected at the angle of incidence.
What shape would a drop of blood have if it hit the wall at a right angle?
a shape
What forms when waves hit the beach at an angle?
surf
From which direction does the waves arrive at beach?
It depends on the wind direction. The waves may be straight on to the shore, or hit the shore at an angle.
Can a tsunami hit ocenside beach?
Yes, Oceanside Beach in California is vulnerable to tsunamis due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The risk of a tsunami hitting the beach is low, but it is possible in the event of a major earthquake or underwater landslide in the Pacific Ocean. It is important for residents and visitors to be aware of evacuation procedures in case of a tsunami warning.
What is the process called when the waves repeatedly hit the beach and some of the sediment moves down the beach with the current?
Longshore Drift
What is volley called in beach volleyball?
a volley is when 2 teams hit the ball back and forth for awhile
What is angle of insulation?
It is the angle at which the sun's rays hit the earth
What is attack in volleyball?
An attack is also called a spike or hit. It involves hitting the ball at a downward angle after approaching the net.
Do jetties cause beach erosion?
Yes and no. It will cause deposition on one side of the jetty and erosion on the other. Deposition: A jetty on a beach interrupts the long-shore drift. Long-shore drift occurs when the current meets the beach at an angle. The swash moves along the beach at an angle and carries sediment with it. it deposits some and washes some back with it. The backwash always returns at 90 degrees, so it carries material along the beach in this way: washing it up at an angle, straight back down, then up the beach again at an angle. This can reduce erosion, as it deposits some with each wave. This material will eventually end up all deposited on the beach when it reaches the jetty as it will trap the sediment. Erosion: On the other side of the jetty however, refraction of the waves caused by the jetty will direct them more sharply in towards the beach, so they are at less of an angle, giving a higher force when they hit the beach. These will carry hardly any sediment so very little is deposited. All the waves' energy will then be used for erosion, instead of transportation, which will be greater because of the reduced angle. most beaches have waves coming at an angle, even if it is small. its pretty impossible to get a wave coming at exactly 90 degrees, so long-shore drift should occur on most straight beaches
When a light hits a mirror it will reflect at how many degrees?
When a light hits a mirror, it will reflect at an angle equal to the angle at which it hit the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
How does reflection and water waves Interact?
Reflection of water waves occurs when the waves encounter a barrier and bounce back in the opposite direction. The angle at which the waves reflect depends on the angle at which they hit the barrier. The reflection of water waves is similar to the reflection of light waves, following the law of reflection.
Do waves hit the shoreline at an angle?
Yes, waves typically hit the shoreline at an angle due to the curvature of the coastline and the oblique angle at which they approach. This angle can vary depending on factors such as the direction of the prevailing winds and the shape of the coastline. The angle at which waves hit the shoreline can impact erosion and sediment transport processes.
What happens when light bounces off a mirror?
When light hits a mirror, it is reflected back at the same angle that it hit the mirror. This is called the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (incoming light ray) is equal to the angle of reflection (outgoing light ray).
