Hat is the angle of reflection : Light is incident on a plane mirror by an angle of incidence? i = 35°. If this experiment takes place under water (n = 1.33), what is the angle of reflection?

The electric field strength in air exceeds : If the electric field strength in air exceeds 3.0*106 N/C, the air becomes a conductor. Using this fact, decide the maximum amount of charge that can be carried by a metal sphere 2.4 m in radius.
