What is the name of the ray of light that hits a mirror?
The ray of light that hits a mirror is called the incident ray.
What is a incoming light ray called before it hits a mirror?
An incoming light ray before it hits a mirror is called an incident ray.
When a light hits a mirror it will reflect at how many degrees?
When a light hits a mirror, it will reflect at an angle equal to the angle at which it hit the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
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.

How light travels when it hits a mirror?
it reflects back since mirror is a opaque surface .this phenomenon of bouncing back of light is called reflection.
When light hits a mirror?
When light hits a mirror, it usually bounces off 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).
What happens when light from a torch hits a mirror?
When light from a torch hits a mirror, most of the light gets reflected back in a predictable manner due to the smooth surface of the mirror. The angle of incidence (angle at which the light hits the mirror) equals the angle of reflection (angle at which the light bounces off the mirror). This reflection of light allows us to see our reflection in the mirror.
How does the angle at which light hits a mirror compare to the angle at which it leaves the mirror?
The angle is the same but on the other side of the perpendicular to the surface of the mirror at the point at which the light hits the mirror.
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.
What happens if you shine a light into a mirror?
When you shine a light into a mirror, the light reflects off the mirror's surface and bounces back in the opposite direction. This is called specular reflection. The angle at which the light hits the mirror will be equal to the angle at which it bounces off.
What happens when light bounces off a mirror?
When light hits a mirror, it is reflected back at the same angle that it hit the mirror. This is called the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (incoming light ray) is equal to the angle of reflection (outgoing light ray).
