When a light wave is reflected from a mirror there is a change in its?

When a light wave is reflected from a mirror, its direction changes. The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. The frequency and wavelength of the light wave remain the same after reflection.


What is the angle of incidence if a reflected wave bounces off a mirror at an angle of 65?

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection when a wave reflects off a mirror. Therefore, if the reflected wave bounces off at an angle of 65 degrees, the angle of incidence would also be 65 degrees.


When A wave is reflected from a rigid support the change of phase on reflection will be?

When a wave is reflected from a rigid support, there is a change in phase of 180 degrees, or pi radians. This means that the wave is inverted upon reflection.


Does the speed increase when a wave is reflected?

No, the speed of a wave does not change when it is reflected. The speed of a wave is determined by the medium through which it is traveling and remains constant regardless of reflection.


Example of evidence that frequency of light does not change upon reflection?

When light is reflected off a mirror, the frequency of the light does not change because reflection is a process that does not alter the properties of the light wave. The frequency of light corresponds to its color, and when we see our reflection in a mirror, we observe the same color that was emitted towards the mirror.


Reflection from a hard boundary produces what?

a 180 degree phase shift of the incident wave in the reflected wave.


What happens when a wave is reflected at a fixed boundary?

When a wave is reflected at a fixed boundary, it undergoes a phase change of 180 degrees and returns in the opposite direction. This creates interference between the incident and reflected waves, resulting in a standing wave pattern if the incident wave is a continuous wave. The amplitude of the reflected wave depends on the properties of the boundary and the medium through which the wave is traveling.


When light is reflected does the direction of the light wave change?

Yes, the light wave goes in the direction of the angle or reflection.


Which type of light wave acts like a mirror?

Visible light waves. When visible light waves encounter a shiny surface like a mirror, they are reflected in a predictable manner due to the smoothness of the mirror's surface, creating a clear reflection.


How does light reflect off a mirror?

amsw2. A mirror, provided it is smooth to below the wavelength of light, will reflect the light in the same way you can see a water wave be reflected from a wall.


How does a plane mirror reflect light?

amsw2. A mirror, provided it is smooth to below the wavelength of light, will reflect the light in the same way you can see a water wave be reflected from a wall.
