No. I don't honestly know why just that it doesn't because my teacher said so but she could be wrong. Some teachers can be pretty stupid.
Yes of course. Don't spew nonsense. It's a LAW. All you have to do to prove this point, is to draw a semi-major axis, aka tangent to any point on the curved surface, draw the normal, then reflect the incoming ray. If you do this for parallel rays coming onto the curved surface, you'll realize that the reflected rays converge at one point, the focal point, because the curved mirror acts as a lens as well.
What else can I help you with?
What can you use to change the path of light?
Glass and perspex prisms, and mirrors can change the path of light. Try to look up the law of reflection on google, it should be a great help!
Does distance of an object affects the size of reflection in a mirror?
Yes. This can be proven with the Law of Reflection. What this states is: the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflexion. For information about the law of reflection you can visit this site and review the diagrams and notes: http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/class/refln/u13l1c.html
What two light rays does the law of reflection involve?
In doesn't affect how sad you are :)
Light rays obey the law of reflection what is the law of reflection?
what is the parallel light rays reflect off each mirror below looks like with a ruler
Can you demonstrate the laws of reflection?
There are 2 major statements regarding the laws of reflection:- 1. The angle of incidence = angle of reflection OR theta 1 = theta 2 and 2. The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal (line perpendicular to the plane of the mirror/ reflective surface) all lie in the same plane. Hope this helps.

Does curved mirror follow the law of reflection?
Yes, curved mirrors follow the law of reflection. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection at any point on the mirror's surface.
Does the law of reflection apply to curved and flat mirrors?
The law of reflection is valid for any ray of light. So it is also valid for curved and flat surfaces. For curved surfaces, the normal is taken as the normal to the tangent of the point where the light ray hits the surface.
Why do curved mirrors obey the law of reflection?
they are made out of reflective material, and just reflect in a different direction
How do mirrors work in terms of physics?
Mirrors work by reflecting light. When light hits a mirror, it bounces off at the same angle it came in at, following the law of reflection. This creates an image of the object being reflected. Mirrors can be flat or curved, which affects how the image appears.
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.
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.
What property of the mirror means that all the light falling on it obeys the law of reflection?
The property is known as specular reflection, where light rays reflect off a mirror in a way that follows the law of reflection, meaning the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. This property of mirrors ensures that the reflection is sharp and clear.
Does light bounce off mirrors in all directions?
yes it does, light travels in all directions.
What Rays traveling parellel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will reflect out through the mirrors focus?
Any ray that travels parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will reflect through the mirror's focus after reflection. This is known as the "law of reflection" for concave mirrors.
How do lasers reflect off of mirrors?
Lasers reflect off mirrors by following the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. When a laser beam hits a mirror, it bounces off at the same angle it hit the mirror, maintaining its direction and intensity.
What is normal reflection?
Normal reflection refers to the process where light rays hit a smooth surface and bounce off at the same angle they struck the surface, following the law of reflection. This phenomenon is commonly observed in mirrors, where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
What propertys of light do mirrors demonstrate?
Mirrors demonstrate the property of reflection, where light bounces off the mirror surface according to the law of reflection. They also show that light travels in straight lines and can change direction when it strikes a reflective surface. Additionally, mirrors can produce images by reflecting light in a way that preserves the orientation and size of objects.
