What is the angle that light strikes a surface?
That is known as the angle of incidence. It is measured from the normal, which is a imaginary line perpendicular to the surface at the point where the light wave contacts the surface.
How does light behave when it strikes a smooth surface?
It is reflected at the same angle to the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface.they break
What is the ray of incidence?
The ray of incidence is the light ray hitting the mirror plane and the ray bouncing off is the reflection ray. An incident ray is a ray of light that strikes a surface. The angle between this ray and the perpendicular or normal to the surface is the angle of incidence
The point at which light rays meet?
A normal line is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where a light ray strikes.
What does a concave mirror do to light which strikes its surface?
reflects it.
What is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where a light ray strike?
A normal line is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where a light ray strikes.
What is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where light rays strike?
A normal line is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where a light ray strikes.
What is the name of the line drawn perpendiculars to the surface where the light rays strikes?
A normal line is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where a light ray strikes.
What is the same of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where a light ray strikes?
No clue! look in ur txtbook?
How much light is reflected and transmitted when light strikes at a perpendicular to a surface?
Only about 4% is reflected, the rest is transmitted. 3. (29.1) When light strikes perpendicular to the surface of a pane of glass, how much light is reflected and how much is transmitted? Normal to the surface refers to a line that is drawn perpendicular to the surface (90°).
What is the angle that light strikes a surface?
That is known as the angle of incidence. It is measured from the normal, which is a imaginary line perpendicular to the surface at the point where the light wave contacts the surface.
How does light behave when it strikes a smooth surface?
It is reflected at the same angle to the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface.they break
What does light do when it strikes a surface that is not smooth?
When light strikes a rough surface it reflects in essentially random directions.
The ray of light that strikes a surface?
It does.
What is the ray of incidence?
The ray of incidence is the light ray hitting the mirror plane and the ray bouncing off is the reflection ray. An incident ray is a ray of light that strikes a surface. The angle between this ray and the perpendicular or normal to the surface is the angle of incidence
What happens when light strikes a smooth surface?
When light bounces off something, it is reflected.
Light that strikes a shiny surface such as a mirror is?
solar light
