When you shine a flashlight at a mirror the ray of light that shines back at you is the ray of incidence?
This is FALSE. The incident wave "happens" when you shine the light AT the mirror. THe light that comes back is called the reflected wave.
When light is reflected does the direction of the light wave change?
Yes, the light wave goes in the direction of the angle or reflection.
A light wave was reflected off of a mirror at an angle of 10 degrees What was the incident angle?
The incident angle to the Mirror will be 10 deG.
How does light reflect off a plane mirror?
amsw2. A mirror, provided it is smooth to below the wavelength of light, will reflect the light in the same way you can see a water wave be reflected from a wall.
What do mirrors do to light wave?
As you know that there are three types of light waves i.e infrared light, visible light and ultra violet light. Out of these, only visible light rays (waves) gets reflected by the mirror but the other two light waves passes through the mirror.
When light is reflected by a mirror it must change directions?
wave length
When a wave is reflected from a mirror there is a change in its what?
direction

What happens to the light when it strikes a plane mirror?
Light is an electromagnetic wave and as with all waves when they hit a smooth reflective surface such as a mirror they reflect which means they bounce off at 90 degrees. Light = incident ray Light reflected = reflective ray

Which type of light wave acts like a mirror?
No light wave ever acts like a mirror.
What light wave lengths are reflected in chlorophyll?
Green light is reflected. Red and blue light are absorbed.
