when a ray of light falls normally ie. perpendicular to the refracting or reflecting ,the the angle of incidence is zero(angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal at the point of incidence)

A ray with 0 angle of incidence doesnot suffer any change on refraction and goes straight into the second medium.

What happens when light travels from one medium to another with a different index of refraction at a 0 degree angle of incidence?

When light travels from one medium to another with a different index of refraction at a 0 degree angle of incidence, it continues in a straight path without bending. This is due to the fact that there is no change in the speed of light when the angle of incidence is 0 degrees.


Is snell's law true when angle of incidence is angle 0 degree?

Yes; if angle of incidence is zero angle of refraction is zero regardless of index: sin theta r = (n1/n2) sin theta i

What is the angle of incidence to the normal incidence?

The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal (perpendicular line) to the surface. In normal incidence, the incident ray is perpendicular to the surface, so the angle of incidence is 0 degrees.


How the angle of incidence affects the degree of bending of light in a semicircle prism?

The angle of incidence affects the degree of bending of light in a semicircular prism by determining the angle of refraction as the light enters and exits the prism. A larger angle of incidence will result in a greater angle of refraction, causing the light to bend more as it passes through the prism. The relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction is determined by Snell's Law.


What is the difference of angle of incidence ad the angle of reflection?

0(zero) Angle of incidence = angle of reflection


Why pependicular refraction ray undeviated?

When a ray of light passes from one medium to another at a right angle (perpendicular incidence), it does not change direction or bend. This is because the refraction angle formula involves the sine of the angle of incidence, so when the angle of incidence is 0 degrees in perpendicular incidence, the sine of 0 is also 0. Therefore, the ray remains undeviated.


What are value of angle of incidence and angle of reflection for normal incidence of light on mirror?

The angle of incidence is 0 degrees for normal incidence, meaning the light ray hits the mirror perpendicularly. The angle of reflection is also 0 degrees, as the reflected ray will be in the same direction as the incident ray.
