In general, some light incident on any surface is: reflected, absorbed, transmitted. The sum of those three components is 100%, and so reflected light intensity is always less than incident light intensity... since the other two components is never quite zero. The hottest part on a car is usually the chrome bumpers, but skyward facing mirrors would also be really cooking. Reflectivity is high, but absorption is non-zero.

How will light hitting a solid surface be reflected back?
when a light ray is thrown on a PLANE surface two things occur which cause light to reflect 1- the incident ray is equal to the reflected ray 1- the incident ray , the reflected ray and the normal, at the point of incidence, all lie at the same plane
The ingoing ray of light?
The ingoing ray of light is the incident ray
The portion of a light ray that falls on a surface is a?
The portion of a light ray that falls on a surface is incident ray.
What will happen when a light is shone at a mirror?
it will reflect off it
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.

What is difference between incident ray and a reflected ray?
A ray of light which strikes the surface is called incident ray and a surface which is reflected is called a reflected ray
What are incident and reflected rays?
incident ray: the ray that strikes the object reflected ray: the ray that is directed away from the object
What is the difference between incident ray and the reflected ray?
incident ray-the light ray striking a reflecting surface is called the incident ray. reflected ray-the light ray obtained after reflection from the surface, in the same medium in which the incident ray is travelling , is called the reflected ray.
What is the different between the incident ray and the reflected ray?
The ray which hits or falls on a object or a material initially is known as INCIDENT RAY. The ray which gets reflected after hitting the object is known as REFLECTED RAY.
What is angle of incident if the reflected ray is 90 degree to incident ray?
The angle of incident is 45 degrees. The incident and reflected ray have the same magnitude and if the sum of the magnitudes is 90 degrees the incident is 45 degrees.
What is the difference between an incident ray and a reflected ray?
The ray which hits or falls on a object or a material initially is known as INCIDENT RAY. The ray which gets reflected after hitting the object is known as REFLECTED RAY.
How is an incident ray related to a reflected ray?
The relation between the incident ray and reflected ray is described by the material which is reflecting the incident ray. depending upon the material used the incident ray is scattered or reflected or refracted or transmitted or absorbed. For example if you take rainbow the sun light is incident on the rain drop , it reflected back of drop several times and due to that we get the rainbow with various colours.
What is a term that means reflected light?
The light which enters is called the incident ray and the reflected light is called the reflected ray.
What are the two rays that make an angle?
Incident Ray and Reflected ray
How many laws of reflection?
There are three laws of reflection and which are as follows:The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the reflection surface at the point of the incidence lie in the same plane.The angle which the incident ray makes with the normal is equal to the angle which the reflected ray makes to the same normal.The reflected ray and the incident ray are on the opposite sides of the normal.
Is incident an adjective?
It can be either an adjective or a noun. It is usually used as a noun as in "There was an incident last night"However, it can also be used as a adjective. For example, when light is reflected you get an incident ray and a reflected ray.
How does sound waves travel through solid?
incident ray =reflected ray why?
