When the arrival of a beam of light at a surface?
when arrival of a beam of light at a surface
What is A collection of rays of light called?
It is called a beam.
The arrival of a light beam at a surface?
Whats the question?
What is the difference between reflected rays of light and refracted rays?
When a beam of light hits a mirror and bounces off, it is reflected. When light is refracted it means the light penetrates into a substance and changes the direction of its movement.
Could you use a highly intense beam of red light to eject electrons from the surface of a metal?
Yes, this is called the photoelectric effect. Discovered my Einstein.

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 do you use beam in a sentence?
The beams of the Sun has reached the Earth's surface.
What is a straight beam of light called?
A ray.

Yes, this is called the photoelectric effect. Discovered my Einstein.
What is the simple law that applies when light hits a relecting surface?
When a beam of light strikes a reflective surface it reflects, angle of incidence = angle of reflection
A highly concentrated beam of light is called what?
Laser
How do CD players use light?
CD players use light to read CD's. The data side of a CD is basically a giant mirror for a particular frequency of laser, except it has all these pits in it. Basically, the drive shines a laser beam at the disk, and if it hits a flat part, it bounces back, and if it hits a pit, it bounces somewhere else. Depending on where the light beam comes back, the CD drive figures out what data was encoded on the CD.
