Answer to Problem 46R
Due to the smooth surface mirror reflected more light than white wall.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The speed of light in vacuum, commonly denoted c, is a universal physical constant important in many areas of physics. Its exact value is defined as 299792458 meters per second.
A mirror reflected more light than a white wall. Because mirror surface is more smooth than white wall. When a light ray is fall on a white wall less amount of light are reflected and lighter are absorbed but when a light ray is fall on a glass maximum light are reflected and very less amount of light are absorbed.
Conclusion:
Hence, due to the smooth surface mirror reflected more light than white wall.
