Characteristics of a plane mirror?
surface which reflects angles of incidence.
When light shines onto a mirror how are the angle of incidence and angle of reflection related?
The Law of Sines is he relationship between the incidence angle and the reflection angle: Sin(I)/Incident velocity = Sin(R)/reflection velocity. If the incident and reflection velocity are the same, then the angles are the same.
What is the relationship for angles of incidence and reflection for sound?
Sound reflects from a smooth surface the same way light does---the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Its on page 385.
How does incident light emerge from a prism?
Incident light hits a prism, refracted or reflected light emerges from it. In what manner it is different from the incident light depends on the angle of incidence and the angles of the prism. Commonly it may be refracted, dispersed or reflected back.
The relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction is known as law?
Snell's Law states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is equal.
What is the relation between oblique and vertical incidence?
Oblique incidence applies to rays that are incident at some angle OTHER THAN at right angles (90 degrees) to the surface on which they are incident. Vertical incidence IS at right angles.
How do you measure the angles of incidence and reflection?
They are the angles made by the incident ray and the reflected ray with the line perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point of reflection.
What is the angle of incidence if the angle of reflection is 15 degrees?
If the ray is incident at right angles to the reflection surface, angle of Incidence will be 90 degrees and so will be the angle of reflection. In such a case, the incident ray, the normal and the reflected ray coincide.
What is reflecting mirrors?
When a light ray is incident upon a reflecting surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. Both of these angles are measured relative to a normal drawn to the surface. The incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal all lie in the same plane.
Characteristics of a plane mirror?
surface which reflects angles of incidence.
How do you work out how a light wave will be reflected?
You apply the law of reflection. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. The angles are measured between the rays and the normal at the point of incidence, which means the line at right angles to the surface at that point.
When light shines onto a mirror how are the angle of incidence and angle of reflection related?
The Law of Sines is he relationship between the incidence angle and the reflection angle: Sin(I)/Incident velocity = Sin(R)/reflection velocity. If the incident and reflection velocity are the same, then the angles are the same.
What is the advantage of measuring the angle of reflection and angle incident on either side of the normal to the surface of the mirror?
We measure them on the either side of the mirror and not on the side of the normal to the surface of the mirror because, if the mirror or any reflecting surface is bent, then there will be a difference between the angle of incidence and angle reflection which can be avoided by measuring those angles on the either side of the mirror.
Where are the angles of the incident ray and reflected ray measured from?
The normal to the reflecting surface.
What is the reference line in measuring the angles of incidence and angle reflection?
The reference line is the normal (perpendicular) to the surface.
What is the relationship for angles of incidence and reflection for sound?
Sound reflects from a smooth surface the same way light does---the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Its on page 385.
