What is the number of pole of mirror?
A mirror has an infinite number of poles due to its smooth and continuous reflective surface. The pole of a mirror is the point where the normal to the mirror surface intersects it, and this point can be anywhere on the mirror surface.
How does light reflect off a smooth surface like a mirror?
Light reflects off a smooth surface like a mirror because the surface is flat and regular, allowing the light waves to bounce off in a predictable manner. When light hits the mirror, it bounces off at the same angle as it strikes the surface, creating a clear and sharp reflection.
What is meant by the idea that a surface may be polished for some waves and rough for others?
This idea refers to how different types of waves interact with surfaces. Waves may reflect or pass through surfaces based on their properties. For example, a smooth surface may reflect light waves effectively like a mirror, while a rough surface may scatter sound waves, making them less distinct.
What is the difference between emit light and reflect light?
emit light means you produce the light, to reflect the light is to "re-show" the light that something else made.
How can a mirror reflect light and is it possible to have a reflection in pitch black darkness?
A mirror reflects light by causing photons to bounce off its smooth surface at an angle equal to the angle of incidence. In pitch black darkness, where there is no light to reflect off a surface, it is not possible to have a reflection in the traditional sense. However, some surfaces can reflect a limited amount of light even in very low light conditions due to their material properties.
Do light rays reflect many directions on a smooth surface?
Wherever a light ray hits the reflecting surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. Both angles are measured with respect to the normal (perpendicular) to the surface at that point, so if the surface is bumpy, and the normal to it is different directions in different places, then light rays will reflect in several directions. But if the surface is really a smooth plane, then every light ray that is incident in the same direction will reflect in the same direction. The whole art and science of controlling where reflected light rays go is really the ability to control the shape of the reflecting surface, and the normal to it at different points on it.
Light rays reflecting off a smooth surface reflect?
Light rays reflecting off a smooth surface reflect in a manner that follows the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This results in a clear and defined reflection of the light source.
Which smooth surfaces reflect light?
Any smooth surface will reflect light. The better question is "How much light does each kind of smooth surface reflect?"
What is a smooth reflecting surface?
Its is a convex!!
Do Rough surfaces reflect light?
Rough surfaces reflect light in a more scattered and diffuse manner compared to smooth surfaces. This is because the irregularities on the rough surface cause light to bounce off in different directions rather than reflecting back uniformly like on a smooth surface.
What type of reflection occurs when parallel rays of light hit a smooth surface?
Specular reflection occurs when parallel rays of light hit a smooth surface and reflect off in a uniform direction, such as with a mirror.
What is a common reflecting surface that is smooth?
Glass or water.
What happens when parallel rays hit a rough or bumpy surface?
When parallel rays hit a rough or bumpy surface, the rays reflect in different directions due to the uneven nature of the surface. This causes diffuse reflection, where light is scattered in various directions rather than reflecting in a single direction like with smooth surfaces. This is why we see rough surfaces like sand or paper as not reflecting a clear image.
What kind of surface of a metal can light reflect off of?
A smooth shiny surface.
Smooth reflecting surface?
i don't know it y dont u
Do the light rays reflect in many directions or few on a rough surface?
Light rays reflect in many directions on a rough surface due to the uneven nature of the surface, which causes the rays to scatter in various directions rather than reflect uniformly as with a smooth surface.
What is the rule used to decide if something can reflect light?
The rule for determining if something can reflect light is that the surface must be smooth and shiny. Rough surfaces scatter light in all directions instead of reflecting it. Smooth and shiny surfaces allow light to bounce off at equal angles, creating a reflection.
