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.

When you shine a flashlight at a mirror the ray of light that shines back at you is the ray of incidence?

When you shine a flashlight at a mirror, the ray of light that shines back at you is the ray of reflection, not incidence. The ray of incidence is the incoming ray of light that strikes the mirror. The ray of reflection is the outgoing ray that bounces off the mirror at an equal but opposite angle to the incident ray.


Why doesn't the gravity on a picture on a shelf pull it downward?

Actually the gravity on a picture on a shelf does pull it downward. If the gravity did not act on the picture, it would float away. The reason the picture doesn't go down through the shelf can be explained by Newton's Third Law. Every action has an equal but opposite reaction. The force of the picture on the shelf due to gravity is the same force of the shelf on the picture. Since both forces are the same, the picture remains stationary on the shelf.
