When a light ray strikes a mirror it?
Reflects
How does a light ray change when it strikes a flat mirror?
A light ray will bounce off the mirror and onto a flat surface try it!
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 beam of light that travels towards the mirror called?
Incident ray or ray of incidence.
What is the name of the ray that strikes the mirror?
The name of the ray that strikes the mirror is called incident ray.
When a light ray strikes a mirror it?
Reflects
How does a light ray change when it strikes a flat mirror?
A light ray will bounce off the mirror and onto a flat surface try it!
What happens when a light ray strikes a flat mirror?
It will bounce at the same angle that it came. \ / \__/
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
What is the angle formed by a light ray coming into a mirror?
The angle between the ray and the perpendicular to the mirror (NOT the mirror itself), at the point where the ray hits the mirror is called the angle of incidence.
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
A ray of light strikes a mirror the angle formed by a incident ray and the reflected ray measures 90 degrees.what are the measurements of the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?
yes.
A ray of light strikes a plane mirror such that angle with the mirror is 30 degreewhat is the angle of reflection?
30 degrees as the angle of reflection is equal to 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 beam of light that travels towards the mirror called?
Incident ray or ray of incidence.
What is a incoming light ray called before it hits a mirror?
Incident ray
