Whatever the shape of the mirror the angle of reflection equals the angle if incidence of the ray at the point where the ray hits.

A Mirror


How are images formed in a mirror?

Images are formed in a mirror through the reflection of light rays. When light rays hit a mirror, they bounce off at the same angle they hit the mirror, creating a virtual image that appears to be behind the mirror.


What is a very smooth surface able to clearly reflect light to form a virtual image?

A mirror with a very smooth surface can reflect light to form a virtual image. When light waves hit the mirror, they bounce off at the same angle they hit, creating a clear reflection that appears to be behind the mirror, producing a virtual image.


What Is concave mirror complete the given ray diagram and also write its one charactertis of the formed image?

A concave mirror is a curved mirror that curves inward. In a ray diagram for a concave mirror, parallel rays of light that hit the mirror will converge at a point known as the focal point. One characteristic of the image formed by a concave mirror is that it can be real or virtual depending on the object's distance from the mirror.


What is a light ray leaving a mirror?

that would be either the light bounced off or it's a reflection.


Do light rays reflect or refract when they hit a concave mirror?

Light rays reflect when they hit a concave mirror. The parallel rays of light converge at the focal point after reflection.


What happen to the rays as it hits the surface of the mirror?

When light rays hit the surface of a mirror, they are reflected back at the same angle they hit the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light ray hits the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the light ray is reflected off the mirror).


What happen to the light when its hits the mirror?

When light hits a mirror, it is reflected back with the same angle as it hit the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (incoming light) is equal to the angle of reflection (reflected light).


Describe how the reflection of light waves enables you to see your image in a mirror?

When light waves hit a mirror, they bounce off at the same angle they hit the mirror's surface. This process, known as reflection, allows the light waves to maintain their original image as they bounce off the mirror and into your eyes. Your brain interprets the light waves that reach your eyes as an image, enabling you to see your reflection in the mirror.


Do light rays reflect or refract when they hit a convex mirror?

A convex mirror has the same type of curve as the bottom of a spoon - it bulges out. Mirrors reflect.


When a light ray hits a mirror what rules does it follow?

When light hits a mirror, it either reflects onto another mirror, or bends and travels until it hit an opaque object.


What happens when light rays hit the surface of a flat mirror?

When light rays hit the surface of a flat mirror, they are reflected back at the same angle as they approached the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The image seen in the mirror is a virtual image that appears to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
