What happens when light falls on mirror?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

It will be refracted as it enters the glass plate. Some of it will be absorbed as it travels through the glass. When it hits the back of the mirror, some of light will be absorbed by the reflecting surface while the rest will be reflected back into the glass. Again, some light will be absorbed and, the rest will be refracted out into the air. There will be no refraction for light hitting the glass at right angles to its surface.

Answer 3

the light reflects back at the same angle it went in at the light reflects back at the same angle it went in at

Answer 4

the light reflects back at you in the direction you shone the ray at

e.g. you send the ray at 90 the light would come back at 90 :D

Answer 5

'wen', 'shone' you mean when and shown. anyways when its 'shone' as you say it) it reflecs the light particles in all direction

Answer 6

reflects back
