What is the definition of gleam?
A flash or beam of light
What did sir isaac newton discover about light?
One of his discoveries was about light and the properties of light. He spent months in a darkened room doing experiments. He passed a beam of sunlight through a prism and discovered that the beam of light was broken down into different colours. His conclusion: something that appears green, such as grass, looks green because it reflects the green light in the sun and absorbs most of the other colours.He discovered white light is made up of all color using a prism he found each in a beam of white light could be separated.!
Where was the first olympic torch lit?
The Olympic torch was first lit in Olympia with a mirror focusing the beam of the sun onto the torch.
What is a rigid beam?
A beam that will not flex or bend - eg an I beam.
What is the potophone?
A photophone is used to allow speech into a light beam. The invention was released in Feb. 19th, 1880 by Alexander Graham Bell.
What happens when a straight beam of light hits a plain mirror at a right angle?
The beam of light is reflected back directly along its original path. I assume you are asking what happens if the light beam is exactly perpendicular to the plane of the mirror. I am assuming we aren't getting into such things as quantum mechanics where the answer to the question could be a bit freaky depending on the ideal nature of the conditions.
Why is concave mirror used in street lights?
bcause when light source placed at focus of the mirror, after flashing the light form the source to the mirror after reflection a straight parallel beam of light emerges which makes the street bright
What is a line of reflection?
A line of reflection is a reflected line, often off of a mirror. If a flashlight sends a beam of light at a mirror (the light is called the incident beam), the angle at which it hits the mirror will equall the angle at which the reflected beam of light (called the reflected beam), exits the mirror. This is called the Law of Reflection. This is why light is reflected from a mirror at the same angle at which light struck its surface.

What happens to the beam of a flashlight when it hits a mirror?
When the beam of a flashlight hits a mirror, it is reflected.
Is the incoming beam of light that strikes a mirror at an angle and reflects the same as that of the incoming beam?
Yes, the beam just reflects off of the mirror. There is no beam created from the mirror.
What happens when a beam of light hits a flat mirror at a forty five degree angle?
It is reflected 90 degrees from its original direction.
What phenomenon occurs when a light beam is incident on a mirror?
Reflection.
What is a straight beam of light called?
A ray.
What happens to the direction of a light ray as it travels from glass into the air?
the light 'beam' (if you like) will slightly change direction this is bending light, light only travels in straight lines but due to the shape of the glass it changes direction when the beam exits the glass its should go back to its shape of ligh beam .

What happens to a beam of light when you put it through a con cave lens?
Alot happens when you put a lense into a beam of light.
What happens when light hits a reflective surface?
It reflects with the angle of incidence (angle between the original ray of light and the normal (90 degrees to the mirror surface)) being the same as the angle of reflection (angle between the reflected ray of light and the normal). Some of the light energy is transferred into heat energy by the mirror, so the reflected beam is less bright than the original beam, but the difference is barely noticeable on a clean mirror.
