The amplitude of the resultant wave formed by the incident and reflected waves depends on their respective amplitudes and phase relationship. If they are in phase, their amplitudes will add up. If they are out of phase, their amplitudes will partially cancel each other out, resulting in a smaller resultant wave amplitude.

How is an incident ray related to a reflected ray?
The relation between the incident ray and reflected ray is described by the material which is reflecting the incident ray. depending upon the material used the incident ray is scattered or reflected or refracted or transmitted or absorbed. For example if you take rainbow the sun light is incident on the rain drop , it reflected back of drop several times and due to that we get the rainbow with various colours.
One end of a rope is fixed and the other end is shaking rhythmically. a stationary (standing) wave is formed on the rope. explain how such a wave is formed on the r?
The stationary wave on the rope is formed due to interference between a wave traveling to the fixed end and reflecting back (forming a standing wave pattern). At certain frequencies, the reflected wave interferes constructively or destructively with the incident wave, leading to regions of maximum and minimum amplitude (nodes and antinodes) on the rope. This results in the appearance of a stationary wave with distinct patterns of crests and troughs.
Prove that the angle between reflected and refracted rays is 90 degree if a ray incident from denser to rarer medium?
When a ray of light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium, the angle of refraction is greater than the angle of incidence. The reflected ray and the refracted ray lie in the same plane as the incident ray. Using Snell's Law and the principle of reflection, we can show that the sum of the angles formed by the refracted and reflected rays with the normal is equal to 90 degrees.
What is the amplitude of the standing wave formed by the interference of two traveling waves with the keyword "standing wave"?
The amplitude of a standing wave formed by the interference of two traveling waves is the maximum displacement of the wave from its equilibrium position.
How do you determine virtual and real images?
A virtual image is formed when light rays appear to intersect after being reflected or refracted. It cannot be projected onto a screen. A real image is formed when light rays actually intersect at a specific point after being reflected or refracted. It can be projected onto a screen.

In newton's ring how does interference occur?
Newton's rings are formed due to interference between the light waves reflected from the top and bottom surfaces of the air film formed between the lens and glass sheet.
A ray of light strikes a mirror the angle formed by a incident ray and the reflected ray measures 90 degrees.what are the measurements of the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?
yes.

Why are image reflected from a rough surface not as clear as those reflected from a smooth surface?
Some light that falls on any surface is scattered back (reflected). A rough surface tends to scatter the light in different directions while a smooth surface tends to scatter more of the original (incident) rays straight back. This explains why a smooth surface reflects a "clearer" image than that reflected from a rough surface.

If a set of vectors is laid head to tail and formed a closed polygon is the resultant zero?
yes it is
How are halos formed?
By light being reflected off of clouds
What color is formed when all the colors are reflected?
White light is formed when all colors are reflected off an object. This is because white light is a combination of all the colors in the visible spectrum.
How do you determine virtual and real images?
A virtual image is formed when light rays appear to intersect after being reflected or refracted. It cannot be projected onto a screen. A real image is formed when light rays actually intersect at a specific point after being reflected or refracted. It can be projected onto a screen.
The points on a standing wave where no motion occurs are?
The points on a standing wave where no motion occurs are called nodes. At these locations, the amplitude of the wave is always zero, resulting in stationary points of zero displacement. Nodes are formed by the destructive interference of the incoming and reflected waves in a standing wave pattern.
