What occurs in reflection?
A light wave hitting a reflecting surface changes direction. The angel of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
What is the difference between giving off light and reflecting light?
Giving off is emitting it and reflecting light is reflecting it
What is the angle between the incident wavefront and the normal to the reflecting surface?
It's called the angle of reflection. 38 degrees. The angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray is 19 degrees + 19 degrees = 38 degrees. The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are measured with respect to the surface normal, or a line drawn perpendicular with the surface the light is reflecting off of.
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.
Is white paint good at reflecting light?
yes, it is the best color for reflecting light
What's a ray angle?
The ray angle refers to the angle made by the light of incident and reflection on the reflecting surface.
In which direction do light rays reflecting off a smooth surface reflect?
Newton: " the angle of incidence equals the angle of refraction."
What is the angle of reflecting?
the angle of reflection is the angle where light bounces off the object. for example if you have a mirror the angle of reflection is the one that you can point a laser at the mirror and bounces off.

Does angle effect red eye?
What effect does angle have on red-eye effect?: Angles refract light into your eye and into the lens cap causing the red. Angles of light effect red-eye by reflecting light in certain directions of your eye.
What is the angle between the incident wavefront and the normal to the reflecting surface?
It's called the angle of reflection. 38 degrees. The angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray is 19 degrees + 19 degrees = 38 degrees. The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are measured with respect to the surface normal, or a line drawn perpendicular with the surface the light is reflecting off of.
What is reflecting mirrors?
When a light ray is incident upon a reflecting surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. Both of these angles are measured relative to a normal drawn to the surface. The incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal all lie in the same plane.
What is the angle of incidence if a reflected wave bounces off a mirror with an angle of reflection equal to 55º?
If a light ray is reflected from a flat mirror with a reflection angle of 55o then the angle of incidence was also 55o. When reflecting from a mirrored surface, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
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.
If light hits a smooth hard surface at a 35 degree angle at what angle will it reflect of the surface?
By convention angles are measured from the normal to the reflecting surface. The angle of incidence, 35 degrees, is equal to the angle of reflection. In this case 35 degrees. The answer is 35 degrees.
