How lights behave when it strikes in smooth and rough surface?
When light strikes a smooth surface (like a mirror), it is reflected. When it hits a rough surface (like a sheet of paper) it is diffused, meaning the rays of light are scattered.
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 kind of mirror do you have if reflected rays of light pass through the principle focus when light hits a mirror parallel to the principle axis?
plane mirror
What happens when light hits a concave mirror?
the light rays will be directed into a focal point
What happen when light rays hit the smooth surface?
All the rays of light will be reflected to the source

What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror at an angle?
they are reflected at an equal opposing angle on a first-surface mirror. on a second surface (bathroom mirror) they are also reflected, but some are absorbed/disbursed by impurities and inconsistencies in the glass.
Why is a convex mirror sometimes called a diverging mirror?
Wherever the source of light is, after reflection by the surface of a convex mirror the rays would go always diverged. Hence the name "diverging mirror"
What occurs when a parrellel rays of light hits a rough surface?
The light rays are deflected off at the same angles as the angles on the rough surface.
When you see a mirror which has some water droplets you see a shabby image why does this happen though water is a transparent material?
the clearity of our image in a mirror depends on the intensity of light falling on it and striking back our eyes . but when there are water droplets on the mirrror light rays have to pass through the droplets to reach the mirror surface .when passing through the water layer soome percentage of rays just gets reflcted from the water surface and some suffer total internal reflection .the rest which reach the mirror surface gets mixed with the ones mentioned earlier and creating the so called shabby image.
Why can't you see yourself when you're at the side of the mirror?
In case of reflection phenomenon rays have to fall on the surface. So if we stand on the side of the mirror rays emanating from our body could not fall the mirror surface and hence no reflection.
What type of image does a Convex mirror produce and Why?
A convex mirror produces a virtual image, because the principle light rays incident on the mirror surface from the object must pass through the focal point on the other side of the mirror (virtually), and so the image appears at a depth behind the mirror's surface. The three principle rays that form the focused image are: 1. The ray from the top of the object, parallel to the line passing through the center of the convex mirror, must pass through the focal point behind the mirror's surface. 2. The ray that passes from the top of the object and through the focal point in front of the mirror, comes through the mirror (virtually) parallel to the center line. 3. The ray that passes from the top of the object to the point where the surface of the mirror and the center line intersect, the reflection of which is traced back through the mirror's surface at the same angle as the reflected angle. The place behind the mirror where these rays intersect is the placement of the virtual image.
What mirror will diverge light rays?
Light rays will be diverged by a convex mirror.
