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.
A collection of rays of light is called a beam or a ray bundle.
Each one is called ray and group of them is called beam.
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.
