How will light hitting a solid surface be reflected back?
when a light ray is thrown on a PLANE surface two things occur which cause light to reflect 1- the incident ray is equal to the reflected ray 1- the incident ray , the reflected ray and the normal, at the point of incidence, all lie at the same plane
Light rays obey the law of reflection what is the law of reflection?
what is the parallel light rays reflect off each mirror below looks like with a ruler
The ingoing ray of light?
The ingoing ray of light is the incident ray
What will happen when a light is shone at a mirror?
it will reflect off it
A material that transmits nearly all the light in a ray because it offers little resistance to the light is?
A material that transmits nearly all the light in a ray because it offers little resistance to the light is called transparency.
The portion of a light ray that falls on a surface is?
The portion of a light ray that falls on a surface is incident ray.
What happen when a ray of light falls perpendicular to the surface of mirror?
it reflects
What is the difference between an incident ray and a reflected ray?
The ray which hits or falls on a object or a material initially is known as INCIDENT RAY. The ray which gets reflected after hitting the object is known as REFLECTED RAY.
What is the ray of light which strikes the surface?
incident ray
The ray of light that strikes a surface?
It does.
What is the ray of incidence?
The ray of incidence is the light ray hitting the mirror plane and the ray bouncing off is the reflection ray. An incident ray is a ray of light that strikes a surface. The angle between this ray and the perpendicular or normal to the surface is the angle of incidence
What is difference between incident ray and a reflected ray?
A ray of light which strikes the surface is called incident ray and a surface which is reflected is called a reflected ray
What is the name of the ray that represents the light reflected by the surface.?
Reflected ray
As a ray of light passes from air into glass the angle it makes with the surface normal will?
REFLECTION... (this is the right answer for: A ray of light strikes a flat surface of water. The angle that the reflected light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of? )if not incident ray.
What is the difference between incident ray and the reflected ray?
incident ray-the light ray striking a reflecting surface is called the incident ray. reflected ray-the light ray obtained after reflection from the surface, in the same medium in which the incident ray is travelling , is called the reflected ray.
Why ray of light not bend when it falls perpendicularly on any surfaces?
I think you would have to say that it does ... the portion that's not absorbed is bent exactly 180 degrees from its original path. The result of perpendicular incidence is perfectly consistent with the general rule of reflection that says the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. In the case where the ray of light falls perpendicularly on the reflecting surface, the angle of incidence ... the angle between the arriving path and the normal ... is zero, and so is the angle of reflection. So what's the problem ?
What happened to light ray as they hit a rough surface?
The light is scattered. Some of the light may be absorbed, depending on the surface.
