What happens to a ray of light as it is reflected off a mirror and into a glass of water?
When a ray of light is reflected off a mirror and into a glass of water, it undergoes both reflection and refraction. The light ray bounces off the mirror's surface and then bends as it enters the water due to the change in the medium's density. This causes the light ray to change direction and speed as it travels through the water.

What happens when light from a torch falls on a mirror made from a sheet of transparent glass with a silvery reflective layer behind it?
The light from the torch will reflect off the mirror due to the presence of the silvery reflective layer. The transparent glass allows the light to pass through it before it gets reflected, giving the mirror a shiny appearance.
What happens light when it falls on a window glass?
When light falls on a window glass, some of it is reflected back, some is absorbed by the glass, and some is transmitted through the glass. The amount of light that is reflected, absorbed, and transmitted depends on the angle of incidence, the type of glass, and the properties of the light.
What happens to light when it hits clear glass?
When light hits clear glass, some of it is transmitted through the glass, some is reflected off the surface, and a small amount is absorbed by the glass. The amount of light that is transmitted or reflected depends on the angle of incidence and the refractive index of the glass.
What happens to light which does not go into the glass block?
Light that does not enter the glass block will either continue traveling through the air or be reflected off the surface of the glass block. The reflected light may create a reflection or be absorbed by the surroundings.
What happens when a ray of light hits a mirror?
When a ray of light hits a mirror, it gets reflected off the mirror's surface at the same angle that it approached the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light ray hits the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the reflected ray leaves the mirror).
What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror at an angle?
they are reflected at an equal opposing angle on a first-surface mirror. on a second surface (bathroom mirror) they are also reflected, but some are absorbed/disbursed by impurities and inconsistencies in the glass.
What happens to light when it is reflected in a tilted mirror?
The mirror will shoot the light the way it is pointing.
What happens when light from a torch falls on a mirror made from a sheet of transparent glass with a silvery reflective layer behind it?
The light from the torch will reflect off the mirror due to the presence of the silvery reflective layer. The transparent glass allows the light to pass through it before it gets reflected, giving the mirror a shiny appearance.
What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror?
They are reflected at the angle of incidence.
Why does mirror shines?
The reflection of light from surface of a mirror makes it shining. When the light passes through glass, it does not shine. When one side of this glass is covered by a substance that does not allow light to pass through, the light gets reflected and it shines.
What happens light when it falls on a window glass?
When light falls on a window glass, some of it is reflected back, some is absorbed by the glass, and some is transmitted through the glass. The amount of light that is reflected, absorbed, and transmitted depends on the angle of incidence, the type of glass, and the properties of the light.
What happens to light when it hits clear glass?
When light hits clear glass, some of it is transmitted through the glass, some is reflected off the surface, and a small amount is absorbed by the glass. The amount of light that is transmitted or reflected depends on the angle of incidence and the refractive index of the glass.
What happens to light which does not go into the glass block?
Light that does not enter the glass block will either continue traveling through the air or be reflected off the surface of the glass block. The reflected light may create a reflection or be absorbed by the surroundings.
What surface will a ray of light be reflected?
A ray of light will be reflected off a surface that is smooth and shiny, such as a mirror, glass, or water. These surfaces have the ability to reflect light rays according to the law of reflection.
What happens when a ray of light hits a mirror?
When a ray of light hits a mirror, it gets reflected off the mirror's surface at the same angle that it approached the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light ray hits the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the reflected ray leaves the mirror).
What happens when light falls on mirror?
It is reflected. Depending on the shape of the mirror, this can be at a variety of angles. Assuming the question refers to a flat mirror that is hung on a wall; a plane (flat) mirror has an imaginary straight line at a right-angle to it, called the normal. A ray of light hits the mirror at an angle to the normal, but is reflected at the same angle that it hits the mirror in the opposite direction. So if a ray hits the mirror at 45 degrees from the normal, it will be reflected at 45 degrees from the normal in the opposite direction.
What happens when white light is shone into a mirror?
It reflects back and a small amount is absorbed into its reflective surface.
