What is light reflected at after hitting a mirror?
Light hitting a flat mirror at an angle is reflected at the same angle, relative to the mirror surface.
Describe what happen to parallel light rays hitting in a concave mirror?
describe what happens to parallel light rays when they hit a concave mirror
What happens when a light ray passes through a focal point and then passes through a covex mirror?
Focal point of which mirror? Because convex mirror would have a virtual focus which is assumed to be at the back of the mirror.
What are the conditions for seeing the image of an object in a plane mirror?
-- Light has to shine on the object, and some of it has to reflect off of the object. -- Some of the reflected light has to make it to the mirror. There can't be any physical obstruction in the path. -- The mirror has to be clean enough so that some of the light hitting the mirror is reflected away from it. -- Your eye has to be on the path taken by the light after it reflects from the mirror.
What happens to parallel light rays hitting a convex mirror?
Due to the positive curvature of a convex mirror, when parallel light rays hit the mirror, they are reflected outward (they diverge). As such, convex mirrors are often used for security in convenient stores and other places...because they allow for a wide area to be reflected in the mirror, allowing you to see a wide area when you look at the mirror.
What is light reflected at after hitting a mirror?
Light hitting a flat mirror at an angle is reflected at the same angle, relative to the mirror surface.
How does the periscopes work?
Light enters the top of the scope through a glass panel. It hits a mirror situated on the inside of the scope (which is in effect a long tube) The image hitting the mirror, which is angled down reflects the image to another mirror situated on the bottom of the tube. This image is reflected to the eye pieces.
A light ray hitting a mirror at an angle is reflected off at angle?
The angle between the incident ray and the mirror is equal to the angle between the reflected ray and the mirror.

What is the reflected angle for a light beam hitting a mirror?
The angle of the reflected ray with the normal line to the surface of the mirror is the same as the angle of incidence. Snell's law.
What is translucent mirror?
A mirror that you can see through just slightly
What is a transparent mirror?
A mirror that you can see through from one side.
Is lens the same as mirror?
a lens you can see through and a mirror reflects
What is the duration of through the Mirror?
The duration of Thru the Mirror is 480.0 seconds.
What happens when a light ray passes through a focal point and then passes through a covex mirror?
Focal point of which mirror? Because convex mirror would have a virtual focus which is assumed to be at the back of the mirror.
What are the release dates for Through the Mirror - 2009?
Through the Mirror - 2009 was released on: USA: 11 August 2009
Why does a reflecting telescope have no chromatic aberration?
There's no aberration with the main MIRROR of the telescope, because light doesn't go through the mirror. A reflecting telescope will have SOME chromatic aberration, because every reflecting telescope has at least one refracting lens; the eyepiece. Light goes THROUGH that lens, and light passing through the glass lens will generate some chromatic aberration.
