What happens when light rays hit a smooth surface?
It is reflected at the same angle to the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular to 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
When light is reflected off of a smooth surface in how many ways is it reflected?
It is reflected in only one way: in a straight line and the direction such that the angle between the incident ray and the normal at the point of incidence is the same as the angle between the normal and the reflected ray, but on the opposite side of the normal.
What happen to light rays as it strikes a smooth and shiny surface liike mirror?
The light rays gets reflected in the same angle. Angle between normal and the incident ray is called angle of incident and angle between normal and reflected ray is called angle of relection. Normal is an imagenary perpendicular line on the reflecting surface. Angle of incidence is alway equal to angle of reflection.
What is an angle of reflection?
Draw a perpendicular from the point where the incident ray is reflected and the angle between the perpendicular and reflected ray is the angle of reflection.
When light is reflected from smooth surface the angle of incidence is?
The angle between the light ray and the normal (perpendicular) to the surface at the point of reflection.
What happens when light rays hit a smooth surface?
It is reflected at the same angle to the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface.
How does light reflected?
Light can be reflected because it bounces off a surface at an angle.
What happens when light rays hits a very smooth surface?
It is reflected at the same angle to the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface.
What happens to light when its reflected?
According to law of reflection, the angle of incidence and angle of reflection are equal. If the incident surface is smooth specular reflection takes place where the light is reflected in a single direction.
What happens when light strikes a smooth surface?
When light bounces off something, it is reflected.
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
Explain how both kinds of reflection obey the law of reflection?
The angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. In regular reflection, parallel rays strike are reflected from smooth surface at the same angle in diffuse reflection, parallel rays strike and are reflected from a bumpy surface at different angles.
When light is reflected off of a smooth surface in how many ways is it reflected?
It is reflected in only one way: in a straight line and the direction such that the angle between the incident ray and the normal at the point of incidence is the same as the angle between the normal and the reflected ray, but on the opposite side of the normal.

What is an angle of reflection?
Draw a perpendicular from the point where the incident ray is reflected and the angle between the perpendicular and reflected ray is the angle of reflection.
What causes a mirror image?
a mirror... hehe ok ill stop messing around its a light getting reflected off a smooth surface most any smooth surface will reflect something the only thing that can over come a mirrors reflection is light itself and the angle at which it is reflected off (the secret to a one way mirror)
