Yes, the laws of reflection are applicable to curved surfaces as well. The angle of incidence is still equal to the angle of reflection, but both angles are measured with respect to the normal at the point of incidence on the curved surface.
Light is reflected from plane surfaces in accordance with the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This means that when light hits a plane surface, it bounces off in a predictable manner, maintaining the same angle with respect to the surface normal.
No, not all types of mirrors give rise to diffused reflection. Mirrors with smooth surfaces, such as plane or concave mirrors, produce specular reflection where the light rays are reflected at a consistent angle. Diffused reflection occurs with rough surfaces or materials that scatter light in various directions.
Plane mirrors have a flat reflecting surface, while curved mirrors have a reflecting surface that is curved either inward (concave) or outward (convex). Curved mirrors can focus or diverge light rays depending on their shape, resulting in different optical properties compared to plane mirrors. Additionally, curved mirrors have a focal point and focal length, which plane mirrors do not possess.
A spoon acts as a rough-and-ready convex or concave mirror, depending on which side of ityou admire yourself in, so it follows the rules of curved mirrors. Also, a spoon's geometry is not that of a spherical or parabolic cap so will give a distorted image anyway.
The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are equal by the law of reflection when a ray of light reflects off a plane mirror.
None. There is one curved suface but no plane surface.
A solid cylinder has three plane surfaces: two circular bases at the top and bottom, and one curved lateral surface that wraps around the sides. The curved surface is not a plane surface, while the two bases are. Thus, there are two plane surfaces in a solid cylinder.
When the two surfaces touch but do not intersect one another.
Sphere, ellipsoid, torus, paraboloid, hyperboloid are shapes with only curved surfaces. Hemisphere, quadrant, cone and cylinder are examples of shapes with curved and plane surfaces. There are, of course, many others.
Light is reflected from plane surfaces in accordance with the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This means that when light hits a plane surface, it bounces off in a predictable manner, maintaining the same angle with respect to the surface normal.
A face is any one of the 2-dimensional plane boundaries or surfaces of a solid object. Sometimes the term is also used for curved surfaces.
No, not all types of mirrors give rise to diffused reflection. Mirrors with smooth surfaces, such as plane or concave mirrors, produce specular reflection where the light rays are reflected at a consistent angle. Diffused reflection occurs with rough surfaces or materials that scatter light in various directions.
A lune or biangle. For example, a segment of an orange, which has two plane surfaces and one curved one.
A surface is a 2-dimensional manifold. Most surfaces are curved, in which for a small "differential" section of a surface, a plane figure is uniquely determined.
2 plane faces, 1 curved face
No.
A cyliner has 2 parallel plane faces and 1 curved face
