What happens when a ray of light hits a mirror?
When a ray of light hits a mirror, it gets reflected off the mirror's surface at the same angle that it approached the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light ray hits the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the reflected ray leaves the mirror).
What is a incoming light ray called before it hits a mirror?
An incoming light ray before it hits a mirror is called an incident ray.
What happens if the ray of light hits the mirror?
When a ray of light hits a mirror, it is reflected back at an equal angle from the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror). This is known as the law of reflection.
What happen to the rays as it hits the surface of the mirror?
When light rays hit the surface of a mirror, they are reflected back at the same angle they hit the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light ray hits the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the light ray is reflected off the mirror).
What is a ray that bounces off the mirror?
A ray that bounces off a mirror is called a reflected ray. When light hits a mirror, it reflects off at the same angle it approached the mirror, following the law of reflection.

An incoming light ray before it hits a mirror is called an incident ray.

When a ray of light hits a mirror, it is reflected back at an equal angle from the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror). This is known as the law of reflection.
What is the angle formed by a light ray coming into a mirror?
The angle between the ray and the perpendicular to the mirror (NOT the mirror itself), at the point where the ray hits the mirror is called the angle of incidence.
What happens when a ray of light hits a concave mirror?
It converges.
When a light ray hits a mirror what rules does it follow?
When light hits a mirror, it either reflects onto another mirror, or bends and travels until it hit an opaque object.
What happens when a ray of light hits a plane mirror?
It has the time of its life.
What happen to the rays as it hits the surface of the mirror?
When light rays hit the surface of a mirror, they are reflected back at the same angle they hit the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light ray hits the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the light ray is reflected off the mirror).
What is a ray that bounces off the mirror?
A ray that bounces off a mirror is called a reflected ray. When light hits a mirror, it reflects off at the same angle it approached the mirror, following the law of reflection.
What is the ray of light that shines on a mirror?
An incident ray is the ray of light that shines on a mirror. This is the ray that strikes the mirror's surface.
What is the path of the light ray that hits a mirror at its vertex?
The path of the light ray that hits a mirror at its vertex will reflect back along the same path, perpendicular to the mirror surface. This is known as the law of reflection, where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
What type of reflection happens when a straight ray of light hits smooth mirrors?
When a straight light ray hits a smooth mirror, the regular reflection happens.
