How does a light ray change when it strikes a flat mirror?
A light ray will bounce off the mirror and onto a flat surface try it!
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 2 ways does light bend?
Reflection means complete change in path when light strikes a mirror and refraction means bending of a ray of light when passing from on medium to another.
What happened when light strikes at the mirror?
it reflects of the mirror. a very small part of light is absorbed by the mirror a rest of it is reflected back in the same medium . following the 1st law of reflection , a ray of light falling on a mirror is reflected back making an equal with the "Imaginery normal to the point of incidence."
What does a concave mirror do to light which strikes its surface?
reflects it.
How does a light ray change when it strikes a flat mirror?
A light ray will bounce off the mirror and onto a flat surface try it!
What is the name of the ray that strikes the mirror?
The name of the ray that strikes the mirror is called incident ray.
What happens when a light ray strikes a flat mirror?
It will bounce at the same angle that it came. \ / \__/
What happens to the light when it strikes a plane mirror?
Light is an electromagnetic wave and as with all waves when they hit a smooth reflective surface such as a mirror they reflect which means they bounce off at 90 degrees. Light = incident ray Light reflected = reflective ray
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
A ray of light strikes a mirror the angle formed by a incident ray and the reflected ray measures 90 degrees.what are the measurements of the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?
yes.
A ray of light strikes a plane mirror such that angle with the mirror is 30 degreewhat is the angle of reflection?
30 degrees as the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence

Light that strikes a shiny surface such as a mirror is?
solar light
What is the ray of light which strikes the surface?
incident ray
When light strikes the large concave mirror of a reflecting telescope where is the light focus?
In front of the mirror
