Why do objects appear visible and clear inside an open room during daytime?
it is because of diffused reflection,Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light from a surface such that an incident ray is reflected at many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of specular reflection.
What does light do when it is reflected?
light bounces back in any angle but it never pass through
How does light travel through a periscope?
Simply a periscope is a tube with two right angles top and bottom. In the right angle section two mirrors are set at a 45 degree angle. Thus light coming in the top horizontal tube hits the mirror and is reflected down the vertical bit of the tube where it hits the second mirror and is reflected out horizontally again.
How do periscopes reflect from light?
Light from a distant object strikes the top mirror and is then reflected at an angle of 90 degrees down the periscope tube. At the bottom of the periscope, the light strikes another mirror and is then reflected into the viewer's eye. hope this helped :>
How much light is reflected and transmitted when light strikes at a perpendicular to a surface?
Only about 4% is reflected, the rest is transmitted. 3. (29.1) When light strikes perpendicular to the surface of a pane of glass, how much light is reflected and how much is transmitted? Normal to the surface refers to a line that is drawn perpendicular to the surface (90°).
Is the incident angle and reflected angle the same?
yes
What is angle of incident if the reflected ray is 90 degree to incident ray?
The angle of incident is 45 degrees. The incident and reflected ray have the same magnitude and if the sum of the magnitudes is 90 degrees the incident is 45 degrees.
How is the refracting angle related to grazing incidence and grazing emergence?
Grazing emergence occurs when the incident ray is makes an angle between itself and the normal which is equal to the critical angle (42 for glass).
What is angle of incidence of a ray if the reflected ray is at an angle of 90 degree of the incident ray Verify the answer with diagram?
Call the angle from the incident ray to the normal X. The angle of the reflected ray to the normal also has to be X because the incidence angle and the reflected angle are equal by law of reflection. Since the angle between the reflected and incident ray is 90 degrees: 2*X = 90 So, X = 45 degrees.
How are incident ray reflected ray and normal related?
The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known to be angle of incidence The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is said to be angle of reflection By the law, the angle of incidence = angle of reflection
How are incident ray reflected ray normal related?
The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known to be angle of incidence The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is said to be angle of reflection By the law, the angle of incidence = angle of reflection
A light wave was reflected off of a mirror at an angle of 10 degrees What was the incident angle?
The incident angle to the Mirror will be 10 deG.
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.
A light ray hitting a mirror at an angle is reflected off at angle?
The angle between the incident ray and the mirror is equal to the angle between the reflected ray and the mirror.
What are the two rays that make an angle?
Incident Ray and Reflected ray
What is the angle of reflection if the angle between the incident ray and reflected ray is 140 degrees?
The angle of reflection is 140/2 = 70 degrees. The angle of reflection is the same as the the same as the incident.
What is the angle of incident if the reflected ray is 24 degree to incident ray?
We know angle of incidence = angle of reflection. Hence, angle of incidence will be 24/2 = 12 degrees. (which is also angle of reflection)
