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
In what way does the law of reflection hold for curved mirrors?
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 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!
What is a radiating or reflecting light?
Reflection is the change in the direction of propagation of a wave that strikes a boundary between different media through which it cannot pass. When a wave strikes such a boundary it bounces back, or is reflected, just as a ball bounces off the floor. The angle of incidence is the angle between the path of the wave and a line perpendicular to the boundary. The angle of reflection is the angle between the same line and the path of the reflected wave. All reflected waves obey the law of reflection, which states that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. The reflectivity of a material is the fraction of energy of the oncoming wave that is reflected by it.
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
When a beam of light undergoes diffuse reflection do the individual rays within the beam follow the law of reflection?
Yes.
Is the first law of reflection valid for diffused reflection?
no It is definitely obeying both the basic laws of reflection. Only that on irregular reflection, all incident rays are at different angles which results in scattered reflected rays of light.
What is light rays obey the law of reflection which states that?
what is the parallel light rays reflect off each mirror below looks like with a ruler
How do you work out how a light wave will be reflected?
You apply the law of reflection. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. The angles are measured between the rays and the normal at the point of incidence, which means the line at right angles to the surface at that point.
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.

What does the law of reflection tell us about the angle of a reflected ray of light?
The law of reflection states that a light ray will reflect at the same angle that it hits a surface. We can use this law to guide light to different targets!
What are the similarities of reflection and refraction?
REFLECTION: IF a light ray in incident on a surface if it bring back to same medium is called reflection REFRACTION: IF a light ray in incident on a surface and going to another medium is called reflection and there is a a law for refraction that is SNELL'S LAW
How the light Law of Reflection works on the reflector?
there is a light of incidence and reflaction.... haha bisspuxi
What happens to light when its reflected?
According to law of reflection, the angle of incidence and angle of reflection are equal. If the incident surface is smooth specular reflection takes place where the light is reflected in a single direction.
What does the law of reflected state?
light's angle of incidence is equal to the angle of its reflection. That the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection
Do infrared rays follow the law of reflection?
Yes. All electromagnetic waves do. In fact, all sound waves do too.
