When light is reflected off of a smooth surface in how many ways is it reflected?

It is reflected in only one way: in a straight line and the direction such that the angle between the incident ray and the normal at the point of incidence is the same as the angle between the normal and the reflected ray, but on the opposite side of the normal.


Which way wil a light ray end when it goes from air into glass?

When a light ray goes from air into glass, it will bend towards the normal line (the line perpendicular to the surface) due to the change in speed caused by the change in optical density between the two mediums. This phenomenon is known as refraction.


What do you notice about the way the rays are reflected at the surface of the mirror?

The angle of incidence (incoming ray) is equal to the angle of reflection (outgoing ray) at the surface of the mirror. This reflection obeys the law of reflection, where the angle of incidence is measured from the normal (perpendicular line) to the mirror surface.


Why does a light ray incident on a rectangular glass slab immersed in any medium emerges parallel to itself?

When a light ray enters a rectangular glass slab at an angle, it bends towards the normal due to refraction. As it exits the glass slab, it bends away from the normal by the same amount due to refraction again. The angles at which the light ray enters and exits the slab are such that they cancel out the overall deviation, resulting in the emergent ray being parallel to the incident ray.


What to put in the same direction?

Objects or items that are aligned or facing the same way are said to be in the same direction. This could apply to things like arrows, signs, or people walking in a line. It helps create a sense of order and organization in a visual or spatial context.

What is one way to show that light is a wave?

light is a electromagnetic wave how to prove it ? simple, take diffractionlight bends around the corner of very small opaque objects this is not possible if light was to travel in same line .here ray optics of the light fail. hence light is not a ray so it must be a wave

Is a half line ab the same as half line ba?

No. A half line (also called a ray) is a linear object which starts at the first point, and extends to infinity through the second point. So the half-line (or ray) AB starts at point A, and shoots 'through' B and continues past B to infinity. The half-line BA is the other way around: it starts at point B, and then shoots 'through' A and continues past A to infinity. These two half-lines/rays end up extending to infinity in opposite directions, so they are not the same (not congruent).

How can you prove that a constructed line is parallel to a given line?

One way is to draw a straight line from the constructed line to the given line. If the lines are parallel, than the acute angle at the given and constructed line will be the same as will be the obtuse angles at the given and constructed line.


How is graphing a linear inequality the same as graphing a liner equation?

They are alike in that you graph the lines in the same way, but they are different because you have to shade in one side of the line
