If you shine a flashlight at a mirror what does it prove?
When you shine a flashlight at a mirror it proves that you are able to turn the flashlight on. The reflection of that light can be used to demonstrate some basic principles of optics, such as that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. It proves that the flashlight is in working order, that you are able to direct the light toward the mirror, that the light is reflected by the material at the back of the mirror, that the mirror itself is opaque, and that you have access to a mirror and a flashlight.
What geometri term best describes the light that shines from a flashlight?
A "beam" or "ray" of light would best describe the light that shines from a flashlight.
What happens to the beam of a flashlight when it hits a mirror?
When a beam of light from a flashlight hits a mirror, it gets reflected off the mirror surface. The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence, following the law of reflection. This results in the beam bouncing off the mirror and changing direction.
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.
How does the mirror in the torch help you see in the dark?
The mirror in a torch (flashlight) reflects and redirects the light from the bulb in the desired direction, illuminating the darkness. By angling the mirror, you can control where the light shines, allowing you to see better in the dark. The mirror helps maximize the effectiveness of the light source.

When light shines onto a mirror hwo are the angle of incidence and angle of reflection related?
Those two angles are equal.

How would you know that a flashlight is working?
If it has light, the flashlight is working.
How does light react when it shines on a mirror?
it reflects
Which geometric term best describes the light that shines from a flashlight?
point
What is the light ray which shines away from a mirror?
The reflected light ray that shines away from a mirror is called the "incident ray." It represents the path taken by light as it approaches and then reflects off the mirror surface.
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.
What happens if you shine a flashlight on a mirror in a dark place?
Shining a flashlight on a mirror in a dark place will reflect the light back towards the source, creating a brighter and more focused beam of light. The mirror will redirect the light waves without scattering them, maximizing the illumination in the direction of the flashlight.
