Well, Archimedes made a war weapon that reflected the suns rays in order to set Roman ships on fire. It was called the Death Ray.
it reflected the sun's rays and burned ships
light rays
Reflected rays are equal to the angle of incoming 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.
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.
The light rays that bounce back are called reflected light rays.
The angle is called the reflected angle.
Moonlight is made from the sun's rays reflecting off of the moon's surface.
incident &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.
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.
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.
