that would be either the light bounced off or it's a reflection.

What happens if the ray of light hits the mirror?
The ray of light reflects.
What will happen when a ray of light is shone at a mirror?
the ray of light will be reflected at an angle
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 happens when a ray of light hits a mirror?
The light hits the mirror and the light bounces off like a reflection
When a light ray strikes a mirror it?
Reflects
What will happen when a light is shone at a mirror?
it will reflect off it
What happens if the ray of light hits the mirror?
The ray of light reflects.
What will happen when a ray of light is shone at a mirror?
the ray of light will be reflected at an angle
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 the angle formed by a light ray coming into a mirror?
The angle between the ray and the perpendicular to the mirror (NOT the mirror itself), at the point where the ray hits the mirror is called the angle of incidence.
How do angles of light entering and leaving a mirror compare?
The angle formed from the ray approaching the mirror and the normal (imaginary line that's perpendicular to the mirror) is equal to the angle formed by the reflected ray and the normal. See link below for "Image"... In this image, angle I and angle R are equal

When a light ray strikes a mirror it?
Reflects
A light ray hitting a mirror at an angle is reflected off at angle?
The angle between the incident ray and the mirror is equal to the angle between the reflected ray and the mirror.
How incident ray are refracted by a convex mirror?
A mirror does not refract light, it REFLECTS it.
What happens when a ray of light is directed at a mirror?
it is reflected
When you shine a flashlight at a mirror the ray of light that shines back at you is the ray of incidence?
This is FALSE. The incident wave "happens" when you shine the light AT the mirror. THe light that comes back is called the reflected wave.
