How does light bounce off a mirror?

Mirrors reflect light without disturbing the incoming image, which is called specular reflection. A mirror reflects a light print of anything in front of it.


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 generalization can you make regarding the nature of the images formed by a concave mirror?

The incoming light will intersect at a focal point determined by parabolic curve of the mirror.


The principle that the incoming angle of light is equal to the outgoing angle of Reflected Light is called the?

prinsables of incoming and outgoing angles prinsables of incoming and outgoing angles prinsables of incoming and outgoing angles


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.

Which part of a telescope focuses the incoming light?

The list of choices you included with your question doesn't include any part of atelescope that can do that. I would have picked the objective, whether a lens ora mirror.


How many times can you reflect light with mirrors and a flashlight?

That would depend on the quality of the mirror. If the mirror reflects a greater percentage of the light, then the light can be reflected more times, before it becomes too faint to be recognizable.That would depend on the quality of the mirror.

Why convex mirror called diverging mirror?

A convex mirror reflects light in diverging directions due to its shape.
