First off, Ultrasound is not a ray. Like all sound, its a wave. Ultrasound simply means its so low in pitch, its below the human hearing range.
When a sound wave hits a barrier, two things happen. The energy from the wave is partially absorbed into the barrier itself, which will now vibrate with that energy. Also, some of the energy from the wave is deflected, or bounced off.
Think of it as being how you can hear someone talk through a wall. Even though the sound waves are bouncing off the wall, and therefore a small room like a closet would amplify the sound, its still being transferred through the wall.

What type of reflection happens when a straight ray of light hits smooth mirrors?
When a straight light ray hits a smooth mirror, the regular reflection happens.
What happens when a ray of light hits something?
it reflects
What happens when a ray of light hits a concave mirror?
It converges.
What happens when a ray of light falls on a pencil kept in the tumbler filled with water?
Nothing happens when the ray of light hits the pencil. But it bends when it crosses the boundary between the air and the water. Your brain ... thinking that the end of the pencil is in the same direction that the ray of light is coming from ... thinks that the part of the pencil under the water is in a place where it's not, so the pencil appears bent at the water line.
What happens when a ray of light hits a plane mirror?
It has the time of its life.
What happens when a ray hits a triangular prism?
it will depend on what kind of prisim ( transparent)
Dose a ultrasound tech make more money than a xray tech?
No, Ultrasound is a specialty and requires more education than an x-ray tech.
What happens if the ray of light hits the mirror?
When a ray of light hits a mirror, it is reflected back at an equal angle from the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror). This is known as the law of reflection.
What happens when a ray hits a block at a different angle?
It reflect.Reflecting is the bouncing back of light
Does an x ray tech make more than an ultrasound tech?
NO
What happens when a light ray hits a surface?
They may be absorbed and converted to heat or reflected in scattered fashion.
What happens when a ray of light hits a mirror?
When a ray of light hits a mirror, it gets reflected off the mirror's surface at the same angle that it approached the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light ray hits the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the reflected ray leaves the mirror).
