In terms of light, the normal is an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface where the light ray intersects. It is used to calculate the angle of incidence and reflection, which helps determine how light interacts with the surface.

Do light microscopes use monochromatic light?

No, normal white light.


How is uv light different from light?

It is different because the UV light is brighter then a normal light and it is like a laser. UV light is different to normal light because it is invisible and the wave length is smaller.


What kind of light is normal light that you use?

The answer is visible light. Visible light is light that can be seen with a naked eye


Why does the wave of light bend toward the normal as it enters water?

The wave of light bends toward the normal as it enters water due to the change in speed of light. Light travels slower in water than in air, causing it to refract towards the normal. This bending of light is governed by Snell's Law.


When light passes from water into air the light bends away from the normal true or false?

False. When light passes from water into air, it bends towards the normal.

What is angle of incidence of light?

The angle of incidence of light is the angle between the incoming light ray and the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface) of the medium the light is traveling through. It is measured from the normal to the incident ray.


What is the incident angle of a beam of light if the beam of light is reflected at an angle of 15 degrees from the normal?

15 degrees from the normal - on the other side.


Can light exceed its normal speed while refracting?

If you mean "normal speed" to be the speed at which light travels in a vacuum, then no. Anything that differs from light moving through a vacuum slows the light down to a certain extent.
