What happends when a light ray is directed at the mirror?
When a light ray is directed at a mirror, it reflects off the mirror's surface. The angle of incidence (the angle between the incoming light ray and the normal to the mirror's surface) will be equal to the angle of reflection (the angle between the reflected light ray and the normal). This follows the law of reflection.
What happens when a ray of light is directed at a mirror?
When a ray of light is directed at a mirror, it will reflect off the mirror's surface at an equal angle but in the opposite direction. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence, which is the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the mirror's surface, will be equal to the angle of reflection, which is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal.
When light shines on a mirror how are the angle of indence and the angle of reflection releated?
The angle of incidence, which is the angle between the incoming light ray and the normal (perpendicular) to the mirror, is always equal to the angle of reflection, which is the angle between the reflected light ray and the normal. This relationship is described by the law of reflection.
If the angle between the mirror and incident ray is 50 what will be the angle of incidence?
The angle of incidence is defined as the angle between the incoming light and the line that is normal to the surface at the point where the light 'hits' the surface. The reflectrion angle is the same as the incidence angle. If the angle between the incident ray and the mirror ray is 50, then the angle of incidence is half of this. That is, 25 degrees.
What is the angle of incidence of mirrors?
The angle of incidence of mirrors is the angle between the incident ray (incoming light ray) and the normal (perpendicular line) to the surface of the mirror at the point where the ray strikes the mirror.
What is the angle between the normal and the surface of a mirror?
The angle between the normal and the surface of anything is by definition always 90 degrees, regardless of whether it is a mirror, a piece of concrete, a wooden plank, etc.

The angle of incidence is defined as the angle between the incoming light and the line that is normal to the surface at the point where the light 'hits' the surface. The reflectrion angle is the same as the incidence angle. If the angle between the incident ray and the mirror ray is 50, then the angle of incidence is half of this. That is, 25 degrees.
What is the advantage of measuring the angle of reflection and angle incident on either side of the normal to the surface of the mirror?
We measure them on the either side of the mirror and not on the side of the normal to the surface of the mirror because, if the mirror or any reflecting surface is bent, then there will be a difference between the angle of incidence and angle reflection which can be avoided by measuring those angles on the either side of the mirror.
What is the angle between a plane mirror and the straight line joining the object and its image?
90 degrees (That line is the normal to the mirror.)
What is the angle of incidence of mirrors?
The angle of incidence of mirrors is the angle between the incident ray (incoming light ray) and the normal (perpendicular line) to the surface of the mirror at the point where the ray strikes the mirror.
A reflected ray in a mirror makes an angle of 20 and deg with the incident ray. when the mirror is rotated 15 and deg what angle will the reflected ray now make with the incident ray?
The angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray is equal to the angle between the incident ray and the normal. When the mirror is rotated, the normal also rotates by the same angle. Therefore, the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray will still be 20 degrees.
When describing image formation in mirrors what is the angle of reflection?
The angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal to the mirror surface. According to the law of reflection, this angle is equal to the angle of incidence, which is the angle between the incident ray and the normal.
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.
If the angle of incidence between a light ray and a mirror is 40 degrees what is the angle between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?
The angle between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection is 0 degrees, because they are measured with respect to the normal to the surface, which is the same for both angles.
