A ray of light strikes a flat surface of water The angle that the incoming light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of?
The angle that the incoming light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of incidence.
How does a light ray change when it strikes a flat mirror?
When a light ray strikes a flat mirror, it reflects off the mirror at the same angle it hit the mirror but in the opposite direction. This process is called specular reflection. The incident angle equals the reflected angle, and the image formed is virtual and upright.
What is the ray of light that shines on a mirror?
An incident ray is the ray of light that shines on a mirror. This is the ray that strikes the mirror's surface.
What is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where light ray strikes?
A normal line is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where a light ray strikes.
What happens when a ray of light strikes a flat water surface?
Whenever light hits a water surface, some of the light is reflected off, and some of it is refracted, or "bent", deeper into the water. The proportion that is reflected and refracted depends on the wavelength of the light and the angle of incidence. When light goes straight down into the water, most of it penetrates the surface and goes into the water. When the light impacts at an angle, more of the light is reflected away.
The ray of light that strikes a surface?
It does.
What is the ray of light which strikes the surface?
incident ray

What is the light ray that travels toward a reflective surface?
An incident light ray is a light ray that travels toward a reflective surface. When this ray hits the surface, it may be reflected, refracted, or absorbed, depending on the properties of the surface and the angle at which the light ray strikes it.
What is the angle which light strikes a surface?
The angle at which light strikes a surface is known as the angle of incidence. It is the angle between the incident ray (incoming light) and the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface).
What is the name of the line drawn perpendiculars to the surface where the light rays strikes?
A normal line is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where a light ray strikes.
What are the differences between an incident ray and a reflection ray?
An incident ray is the incoming ray of light that strikes a surface, while a reflection ray is the ray of light that bounces off the surface after reflection. The incident ray and reflection ray are equal in angle but opposite in direction relative to the normal of the surface.
What happens when a light ray strikes a flat mirror?
It will bounce at the same angle that it came. \ / \__/
