Draw a perpendicular from the point where the incident ray is reflected and the angle between the perpendicular and reflected ray is the angle of reflection.
The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known to be angle of incidence The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is said to be angle of reflection By the law, the angle of incidence = angle of reflection
The angle of incidence
Because this light ray passes through without being bent.
the ray of light will be reflected at an angle
Draw a perpendicular from the point where the incident ray is reflected and the angle between the perpendicular and reflected ray is the angle of reflection.
The angle between the incident ray and the mirror is equal to the angle between the reflected ray and the mirror.
Angle of Incidence = Angle of ReflectionThis is only true if the angle of incidence is greaterthan the critical angle.
Call the angle from the incident ray to the normal X. The angle of the reflected ray to the normal also has to be X because the incidence angle and the reflected angle are equal by law of reflection. Since the angle between the reflected and incident ray is 90 degrees: 2*X = 90 So, X = 45 degrees.
The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known to be angle of incidence The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is said to be angle of reflection By the law, the angle of incidence = angle of reflection
The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known to be angle of incidence The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is said to be angle of reflection By the law, the angle of incidence = angle of reflection
the angle of incidence is the initial ray angle and the angle of reflection is the reflected ray angle
The angle of incidence.
The angle between the incident ray and reflected ray is known as angle of deviation due to reflection. This will always be equal to 2i. Here i is the angle of incidence. So if 2i = 90 then i = 90/2 = 45 So the angle of incidence has to be 45 deg
