If the light travelled from within the water and the material on the other side of the boundary was less optically dense, like air, then it could happen. The phenomenon is called total internal reflection.
The answer is no. If total internal reflection were possible from air to water you would not be able to see objects in the water. For instance, when you look in a pool you can see the bottom of the pool and a swimmer in the pool under the surface. If total internal reflection you would not b able to see the bottom or the swimmer.
yes it can
A ray of light which strikes the surface is called incident ray and a surface which is reflected is called a reflected ray
A incidence ray is the ray that strikes the reflecting surface (prior to reflection). A reflection ray is the ray is reflected from the reflecting surface (after being reflected).
The light rays gets reflected in the same angle. Angle between normal and the incident ray is called angle of incident and angle between normal and reflected ray is called angle of relection. Normal is an imagenary perpendicular line on the reflecting surface. Angle of incidence is alway equal to angle of reflection.
REFLECTION... (this is the right answer for: A ray of light strikes a flat surface of water. The angle that the reflected light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of? )if not incident ray.
Diffuse reflection
A ray of light which strikes the surface is called incident ray and a surface which is reflected is called a reflected ray
incident ray-the light ray striking a reflecting surface is called the incident ray. reflected ray-the light ray obtained after reflection from the surface, in the same medium in which the incident ray is travelling , is called the reflected ray.
A incidence ray is the ray that strikes the reflecting surface (prior to reflection). A reflection ray is the ray is reflected from the reflecting surface (after being reflected).
incident ray
No light will be reflected, since there is no incident green light to reflect. To a human observer, the surface will appear black.
absorbed
The light rays gets reflected in the same angle. Angle between normal and the incident ray is called angle of incident and angle between normal and reflected ray is called angle of relection. Normal is an imagenary perpendicular line on the reflecting surface. Angle of incidence is alway equal to angle of reflection.
REFLECTION... (this is the right answer for: A ray of light strikes a flat surface of water. The angle that the reflected light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of? )if not incident ray.
This is called the "albedo." It is the ratio of reflected light compared to incident light, and depends on the surface material and its condition (e.g. snow, grassland).
The ray which hits or falls on a object or a material initially is known as INCIDENT RAY. The ray which gets reflected after hitting the object is known as REFLECTED RAY.
