How does a light ray change when it strikes a flat mirror?
A light ray will bounce off the mirror and onto a flat surface try it!
What is light reflected at after hitting a mirror?
Light hitting a flat mirror at an angle is reflected at the same angle, relative to the mirror surface.
Which mirror shows the lateral inversion of light?
This refers to the apparent left-right reversal often shown by the image in a plane (flat) mirror. Lateral means "sideways". In fact it's something of an illusion, because the inversion is really in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface.
Which term is the best description of the surface of a plane mirror?
Flat
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 type of mirror has a flat surface?
A Mirror that is flat is a duplex mirror.

It will bounce at the same angle that it came. \ / \__/
What is the term for a mirrow with a flat surface?
A mirror with a flat surface - planar
What is the term for a mirror with a flat surface?
plane mirror
What kind of mirror has a flat surface?
plane mirror
Does a plane mirror produce regular or diffuse reflections?
A flat plane mirror produces regular reflections since its polished reflective surface is flat compared to the wavelength of light. If the surface is rough or irregular compared to the wavelength, the light will be scattered, resulting in diffuse reflection.
What is a curve mirror?
It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved, not flat (as in a plane mirror).
What is curved mirror?
It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved, not flat (as in a plane mirror).
A plane mirror is one with a surface?
flat
