Can your shadow be reflected in the mirror?
No, your shadow cannot be reflected in a mirror. A mirror can only reflect light that is directly shone on it, whereas a shadow is an absence of light being cast by an object blocking light sources.
What happens to parallel light rays hitting a convex mirror?
Parallel light rays hitting a convex mirror will reflect and diverge outward, appearing to originate from the mirror's focal point behind the mirror. This creates a virtual image that is upright and reduced in size compared to the object.
What happen to the light when its hits the mirror?
When light hits a mirror, it is reflected back with the same angle as it hit the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (incoming light) is equal to the angle of reflection (reflected light).
What is the ray of light hitting a mirror called?
The ray of light hitting a mirror is called an incident ray. It represents the path that light takes before it reflects off the mirror's surface.
What is an example of Reflection of light?
An example of reflection of light is when you see your own reflection in a mirror. Light waves bounce off the smooth surface of the mirror and travel back to your eyes, allowing you to see your image.
A light ray hitting a mirror at an angle is reflected off at angle?
The angle between the incident ray and the mirror is equal to the angle between the reflected ray and the mirror.
What is the reflected angle for a light beam hitting a mirror?
The angle of the reflected ray with the normal line to the surface of the mirror is the same as the angle of incidence. Snell's law.
What is a line of reflection?
A line of reflection is a reflected line, often off of a mirror. If a flashlight sends a beam of light at a mirror (the light is called the incident beam), the angle at which it hits the mirror will equall the angle at which the reflected beam of light (called the reflected beam), exits the mirror. This is called the Law of Reflection. This is why light is reflected from a mirror at the same angle at which light struck its surface.

What are 3 examples of light being reflected?
- light reflected from a window- light reflected from a mirror- light reflected from snow

What is light that is reflected called?
A mirror

Has a mirror that collects light which is reflected to the eyepiece to show the image?
A reflecting telescope "Has a mirror that collects light which is reflected to the eyepiece to show the image".

How is light reflected off an object?
by a mirror
