What else can I help you with?
Help you with a brief description the Archimedes heat ray?
it reflected the sun's rays and burned ships
What rays can be reflected on a mirror?
light rays
What is true of an angle of light rays coming into an object and the angle of light rays reflected off an object?
Reflected rays are equal to the angle of incoming rays.
What are incident and reflected rays?
Incident rays are incoming rays of light that strike a surface, while reflected rays are rays of light that bounce off that surface after the collision. The angle at which the incident ray approaches the surface is equal to the angle at which the reflected ray leaves the surface, according to the law of reflection.
What did Archimedes do with mirrors?
Archimedes invented a device to set fire to ships. This used mirrors to focus the rays of the sun on the ships which were attacking the city.
What is the light rays that bounce back called?
The light rays that bounce back are called reflected light rays.
What is the angle called when the reflected light rays make with the normal?
The angle is called the reflected angle.
What is moonlight made of?
Moonlight is made from the sun's rays reflecting off of the moon's surface.
What are the two rays invloved in reflection?
incident &reflected
Light rays that hit a convex mirror as they are reflected?
Light rays that hit a convex mirror are reflected and diverge. The reflected rays appear to originate from a point behind the mirror known as the focal point. This causes the image formed by a convex mirror to be virtual, upright, and diminished in size.
Why are image reflected from a rough surface not as clear as those reflected from a smooth surface?
Some light that falls on any surface is scattered back (reflected). A rough surface tends to scatter the light in different directions while a smooth surface tends to scatter more of the original (incident) rays straight back. This explains why a smooth surface reflects a "clearer" image than that reflected from a rough surface.
How are parallel rays reflected by a mirror?
Parallel rays are reflected by a mirror such that they remain parallel after reflection. This is due to the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
