The particular words used to describe the item, although ray seems to me to be one thing while a beam might be several things working together.
A light beam or beam of light is a narrow cone of light energy radiating from a small source. In optics, a ray is an idealized narrow beam of light.
The beam of light that travels towards the mirror is called the incident ray.
A collection of rays of light is called a beam or a ray bundle.
Another name for light beam is ray of light. Other similar names are beam of light, shaft of light, and irradiation.
ray or laser

A light beam or beam of light is a narrow cone of light energy radiating from a small source. In optics, a ray is an idealized narrow beam of light.
A beam of light is a broad, focused stream of light, while a ray of light is a narrow, straight path that light travels in. The beam carries more energy and can illuminate a larger area, while a ray is a simplified representation of how light propagates in a specific direction.
A ray is a narrow beam of light.
ray as in a ray of light
The beam of light that travels towards the mirror is called the incident ray.
Each one is called ray and group of them is called beam.
A collection of rays of light is called a beam or a ray bundle.
Another name for light beam is ray of light. Other similar names are beam of light, shaft of light, and irradiation.
ray or laser
A straight beam of light is called a ray of light. Rays of light travel in a straight line from their source until they are interrupted or reflected by a surface.
Doesn't work, it'd be like trying to shine a beam of light onto a beam of light.
