A plane wavefront is incident normally on a convex lenssketch the refracted wavefront?
When a plane wavefront is incident normally on a convex lens, the refracted wavefront will converge towards the principal focus of the lens. This is because the convex lens causes the light rays to converge, focusing them at a point. The refracted wavefront will exhibit a shape that is curved inward towards the principal focus.

What is the angle between the incident and reflected rays when a ray of light is incident normally on a plane mirror?
When a ray of light is incident normally on a plane mirror, the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray is 0 degrees. This means that the reflected ray will travel back along the same path as the incident ray, creating a symmetry in the reflection process.
What happens to the direction of a light ray as it moves from air into Perspex?
what happens is the light is refracted or bent to the normal as in the other surface the line is refracted away from the normal refracted light coming out of the perspex block is parallel to the incident light refraction is caused as the light hits the block from a different angle lets say 25 degrees the particles are normally all lined up and go the same speed but as it hots the block from a different angle one particle will hit first the block and then the next and so on making each particle separate causing it to bend.
Why does light that is normal to a refracting surface not get refracted?
Because the angle of refraction depends (among other things) on the difference between the angle of incidence and the normal. Therefore, if if the angle of incidence is equal to 90 degrees (normal), then the angle of refraction is zero. This is the reason why images, when viewed straight-on through a window, do not appear distorted. Or, think about it like this: If light was refracted when normally incident, which way would it refract?
What happens when a light ray is incident normally to the interface of two media?
The light will enter the second medium. No deviation will occur but the velocity of light will be changed. [I am assuming that the R.I. of two media are different] -arghyadas1985@yahoo.com
When a ray light passes normally from one medium to another it gos undeviated?
Yes, when a ray of light passes normally from one medium to another (i.e., the incident angle is zero), it continues in a straight line undeviated. This is because there is no change in speed or direction at the interface between the two media.
What word describes stopping light so that it is not reflected or refracted?
When light is stopped it is normally said that absorption has taken place. Opaque objects normally absorb light and thus it does not get reflected or refracted.
When a em wave is incident normally on a perfect conductor then?
A perfect conductor will perfectly reflect an incident wave.

Why does light have to hit the border between two media at an angle for refraction to occur?
This could be easily understood with the idea of plane wavefront. Huygens have given the concept of wavefront. That has been defined as the locus of all points in the medium which get vibrated simultaneously and are vibrating in phase. More over ray concept is old one. Any ray of light will be normal to the new concept ie wavefront. So as ray hits normally on the surface, then all points on the wavefront hit simultaneously on the surface of separation and secondary wavelets would be produced at the same instant. So the wavefront would continue as it is. Hence ray goes un deviated. On the other hand if the ray hits at an inclined position with the surface of separation, then the wavefront would be falling in an inclined way. So those reach earlier the surface would start giving rise to secondary wavelets which would traverse at less speed in the other media. Thus the successive points giving rise to secondary wavelets would make the wavefront to be inclined at a different angle with the surface of separation. Hence the ray gets refracted. We can imagine as if a military parade is crossing the border right from cemented road to a region full of sand. On cemented road one can walk easily so at high speed. But in sand speed would be reduced. So the parade as a whole would change the direction of marching forward.

What is the angle between the incident and reflected rays when a ray of light is incident normally on a plane mirror?
When a ray of light is incident normally on a plane mirror, the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray is 0 degrees. This means that the reflected ray will travel back along the same path as the incident ray, creating a symmetry in the reflection process.
