This is because there are multiply incidences. therefore you can not say that all the incident rays and all the reflected rays lie in the same plane and if there is even one that does not lie in the same plane, snell's equality can not work

Describe a situation where the light falling on an object does not obey the law of reflection.?

When light falls on a rough or irregular surface, it undergoes diffuse reflection instead of specular reflection. In diffuse reflection, the incoming light rays are scattered in random directions, so the law of reflection, which states that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence, does not hold for each individual ray.


Do Only transverse waves obey the law of reflection?

No, both transverse and longitudinal waves obey the law of reflection. The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.


Does light rays obey the law of reflection?

Yes, light rays obey the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection when light reflects off a surface.


Do a convex and concave mirrors obey the law or reflection Explain?

Yes, both convex and concave mirrors obey the law of reflection. The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This means that light rays that strike a convex or concave mirror will follow this law and reflect off the mirror surface accordingly.


Do convex and concave mirrors obey the law of reflection?

Yes, both convex and concave mirrors obey the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This law applies to all types of mirrors, ensuring that light rays reflect predictably off the mirror's surface.

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.

Does a concave mirror obey the law of reflection?

Yes, a concave mirror obeys the law of reflection. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection when light rays hit the mirror surface and bounce off.
