What will happen when a light is shone at a mirror?
it will reflect off it
What will happen when a ray of light is shone at a mirror?
When a ray of light is shone at a mirror, it will be reflected following the law of reflection, where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. The reflection will produce a mirror image of the object or light source.
What happens if you shine a light into a mirror?
When you shine a light into a mirror, the light reflects off the mirror's surface and bounces back in the opposite direction. This is called specular reflection. The angle at which the light hits the mirror will be equal to the angle at which it bounces off.
What happens when a light ray is shone at a mirror?
It is reflected. Depending on the shape of the mirror, this can be at a variety of angles. Assuming the question refers to a flat mirror that is hung on a wall; a plane (flat) mirror has an imaginary straight line at a right-angle to it, called the normal. A ray of light hits the mirror at an angle to the normal, but is reflected at the same angle that it hits the mirror in the opposite direction. So if a ray hits the mirror at 45 degrees from the normal, it will be reflected at 45 degrees from the normal in the opposite direction.
What will happen when the ray is shone at the mirror?
it will reflect
What happens when a ray of light is shone into a prism?
When a ray of light is shone into a prism, the light ray refracts (bends) as it enters the prism, then undergoes further refraction as it exits the prism. This results in the separation of the light into its component colors, creating a rainbow-like spectrum.
What happens if the ray of light hits the mirror?
When a ray of light hits a mirror, it is reflected back at an equal angle from the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror). This is known as the law of reflection.
What happens a ray of light falls on a plane mirror?
When a ray of light falls on a plane mirror, it undergoes reflection. The angle at which the light ray strikes the mirror is equal to the angle at which it reflects off the mirror. This allows us to see a reflected image of the object from which the light ray originates.
What happens when a ray of light hits a concave mirror?
It converges.
What happens when you shine a light ray onto a mirror?
it reflects
What happens when a ray of light hits a mirror?
When a ray of light hits a mirror, it gets reflected off the mirror's surface at the same angle that it approached the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light ray hits the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the reflected ray leaves the mirror).
When you shine a flashlight at a mirror the ray of light that shines back at you is the ray of incidence?
When you shine a flashlight at a mirror, the ray of light that shines back at you is the ray of reflection, not incidence. The ray of incidence is the incoming ray of light that strikes the mirror. The ray of reflection is the outgoing ray that bounces off the mirror at an equal but opposite angle to the incident ray.
