They may be absorbed and converted to heat or reflected in scattered fashion.

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 when a ray of light hits a reflective surface like a mirror?
It'll undergo reflection and will get reflected back
What is the light ray that travels toward a reflective surface?
An incident light ray is a light ray that travels toward a reflective surface. When this ray hits the surface, it may be reflected, refracted, or absorbed, depending on the properties of the surface and the angle at which the light ray strikes it.
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 a ray of light hits a surface two things will happen to the light. What are they?
When a ray of light hits a surface, two things can happen: reflection, where the light bounces back off the surface, and refraction, where the light enters the material and changes direction.
What type of reflection happens when a straight ray of light hits smooth mirrors?
When a straight light ray hits a smooth mirror, the regular reflection happens.
When a ray of light hits a surface what two things will happen to it?
When a ray of light hits a surface, it can either be reflected, where it bounces off the surface, or refracted, where it enters the material and bends as it travels through.
What happens when a ray of light hits something?
it reflects
What happens when a ray of light hits a concave mirror?
It converges.
What is a light ray bouncing off the surface of an object?
A light ray bouncing off the surface of an object is called reflection. When light hits a surface, it can either be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. Reflection is when the light ray bounces off the surface at the same angle it hit the surface.
What happens when a ray of light falls on a surface?
When a ray of light falls on a surface, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through the surface. The type of interaction that occurs depends on the properties of the surface, such as its material and texture.
What happens to the light ray as hit in the surface of convex mirror?
When a light ray hits the surface of a convex mirror, it reflects off the mirror divergently. This means that the reflected light rays appear to originate from a virtual focal point behind the mirror, creating an upright and smaller image of the object.
