The Law of Reflection. A student makes the following three claims about the law of reflection:

1. Whenever a light ray strikes a surface, it will always reflect away perpendicular to the surface.

2. A light ray will always reflect away from a surface at an angle equal to the angle at which it struck the surface.

3. A light ray traveling perpendicular to a surface will always scatter away at different angles when it reflects from the surface.

With which statement do you most agree? Explain your reasoning.

1whenever a light strikes a surface it will reflect away a perpendicular to the saw

Explanation:

the light strikes a surface it shows incident ray but when it bounces back it shows reflected ray

double the distance = divide strength by 4

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.
