What is vertically symmetrical?
to feflect an object so the reflected object is the right way up
What are curvillinear coordinates?
Curvilinear coordinate systems are a means of describing an object/point's position based on angle and distance from the origin. For example, polar coordinates are Curvilinear coordinates for R2 (2D space). Spherical coordinates are Curvilinear coordinates for R3 (3D space) If you need to know more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_coordinates
How is a reflection formed?
a reflection is formed when rays of light bounces off an object onto a smooth shiny surface (such that light rays are reflected off at the same angles) and reflects off it into our eyes.when the surface is rough there wouldn't be a reflection as lights rays from an object is reflected off the rough surface at different angles and does not enter our eyes
What is invariant in mathematics?
It is a part of a mathematical object which does not change when the object undergoes a transformation.
What is a point in Euclidean synthetic geometry?
An infinitesimal "object" having no volume at a single location in 3D space defined by X, Y, Z coordinates.
How can you describe an objects position?
the light that is reflected by that object.
What change in the x coordinates of any two points on a line in the xy plane is the?
[object Object]
Is red light reflected or absorbed by an object if the object appeares to your eyes?
Reflected
Is red light reflected or absorbed by an object if the object appears red to your eyes?
Reflected
What are properties of reflections m?
Reflections in mathematics preserve the size and shape of the object being reflected. They also have the property that the reflected image is the same distance from the line of reflection as the original object. Additionally, reflections can be described by an axis of reflection, which serves as a line that the reflection occurs across.
What happens when white light strikes an object?
Depending on the object, it may be reflected, absorbed, refracted or internally reflected.
What are incident and reflected rays?
incident ray: the ray that strikes the object reflected ray: the ray that is directed away from the object
The amount of light reflected by an object depends on the of that object?
Material
What does reversed mean in reflections?
In reflections, "reversed" means that the image appears flipped from left to right compared to the original object. Each point on the object is reflected across the mirror line to create the reversed image.
Why does a specific color reflected by an object give color to it?
White light contains all the colors mixed together. A colored object has a pigment on its surface that ABSORBS all these colors except one. This one color is reflected back off the object. Thus, as we see the object by this reflected light coming from the object into our eyes, the object appears to be colored.
How is light reflected off an object?
by a mirror
What is the different between the incident ray and the reflected ray?
The ray which hits or falls on a object or a material initially is known as INCIDENT RAY. The ray which gets reflected after hitting the object is known as REFLECTED RAY.
