If we're interested in knowing the rate at which light energy is received by a unit of area on a particular surface, we're really trying to figure out the a. incandescence. b. luminous flux. c. illuminance of a surface. d. luminous intensity.

C. illuminance of a surface.

a)  Incandescence:  The phenomenon of light emission by a body as a result of high temperature.

B. Luminous flux :  It is the quantity of the energy of the light emitted per second in all directions.

C. Illuminance of a surface :describes the quantity of light emitted by a light source or received at a surface.

D. luminous intensity : the quantity of visible light that a point source radiates in a given direction.

a longitudinal wave moves energy that is to the direction of the wave’s movement. - true

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
