Name the two rays involved in reflection?
incident ray and reflected ray
What does reflection mean science?
Reflection involves two rays - an incoming or incident ray and an outgoing or reflected ray.
state the second law of reflection?
The incident ray, the normal and the reflected ray are all in the same plane
Explain the difference between the concave mirror and convex mirror?
A convex mirror bulges out. A concave mirror curves inward.For a convex mirror, light rays are reflected to meet at a point, while, for a concave mirror, light rays seem to be reflected from a point. If the incident rays were paraxial, the reflected rays are reflected to meet at, or appear to be reflected to a point referred to as the focal point of the lens. For a convex mirror, the focal point is real, while, that of a concave lens is virtual.
What happen to light rays as it strikes a smooth and shiny surface liike mirror?
The light rays gets reflected in the same angle. Angle between normal and the incident ray is called angle of incident and angle between normal and reflected ray is called angle of relection. Normal is an imagenary perpendicular line on the reflecting surface. Angle of incidence is alway equal to angle of reflection.
What are the two rays invloved in reflection?
incident &reflected
What are the two rays that make an angle?
Incident Ray and Reflected ray
Name the two rays involved in reflection?
incident ray and reflected ray
Is the incident angle and reflected angle the same?
yes
Why are image reflected from a rough surface not as clear as those reflected from a smooth surface?
Some light that falls on any surface is scattered back (reflected). A rough surface tends to scatter the light in different directions while a smooth surface tends to scatter more of the original (incident) rays straight back. This explains why a smooth surface reflects a "clearer" image than that reflected from a rough surface.

What rays can be reflected on a mirror?
light rays

What is the angle between the incident and reflected rays when a ray of light is incident normally on a plane mirror?
if one is to define this question one will be aware that the normal is perpendicular to the surface and thus creates a angle of 90 degrees.
What is true of an angle of light rays coming into an object and the angle of light rays reflected off an object?
Reflected rays are equal to the angle of incoming rays.
