These two figures show a flashlight beam being reflected off of a mirror and waves being reflected off of the side of a pool respectively What scientific property is illustrated by these two figures?

The exact angle at which the beam and wave strike the surface is the same angle at which they are reflected.

What is a line of reflection?
A line of reflection is a reflected line, often off of a mirror. If a flashlight sends a beam of light at a mirror (the light is called the incident beam), the angle at which it hits the mirror will equall the angle at which the reflected beam of light (called the reflected beam), exits the mirror. This is called the Law of Reflection. This is why light is reflected from a mirror at the same angle at which light struck its surface.

The angle between a flashlight beam that strikes a mirroe and the reflected beam is 80 degree what is the angle of incident?
80/2 = 40 deg
What is the angle called when the reflected light rays make with the normal?
The angle is called the reflected angle.
Do the angles of the reflected image change?
Not normally but there will be a change in the coodinates of the reflected image on the Cartesian plane
What is a congruent figure?
its a reflected shape because they are similar to each other but not the same size so they are reflected
What happens to the beam of a flashlight when it hits a mirror?
When the beam of a flashlight hits a mirror, it is reflected.
What would be a deers eye color be with a white flashlight?
A deer's eye color with a white flashlight would be greenish yellow or yellow. This light is gathered by the eye while a portion is reflected back at the flashlight.
Why do the eyes of the cat blue at night when seen of the flashlight?
because thats the color thats reflected
What is the scientific term for how light is reflected?
Reflection.
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 is the scientific explanation for echos?
An echo is a sound wave that has reflected off a boundary
Can light waves be absorbed?
Sure. Shine a flashlight on a piece of black satin or black construction paper, and watch the intensity of the blinding glare that's reflected back.
When you shine a flashlight in to the sky does it ever come back or is it sucked into a black hole?
When you aim your flashlight at the sky, some of the light is scattered by dust or water vapor in the air. If you can see the beam, you're seeing SCATTERED light that has been reflected back to your eyes. The beam of a flashlight isn't "collimated" - the light isn't focused into a very narrow beam. So the light spreads out. The light that spreads out and makes it through the atmosphere keeps going approximately straight out into space until it hits something. A meteor, a planet, a dust cloud, a black hole; whatever. If the light doesn't hit anything, it keeps going - forever. However, even though the light from your flashlight is traveling into space at the speed of light, so is the light from every OTHER flashlight, street light, car headlight, reflected starlight and moonlight - all mixed in together. So even though your light will go on forever, "your" light is probably indistinguishable from all the rest of the light from Earth. If you aim your flashlight at the Moon, then some tiny fraction of the moonlight that you see three seconds later is light from your flashlight, reflected back to you. And to everyone else on Earth who is looking at the Moon right then.
When you shine a flashlight at a mirror the ray of light that shines back at you is the ray of incidence?
This is FALSE. The incident wave "happens" when you shine the light AT the mirror. THe light that comes back is called the reflected wave.
What the similarities between echoes of sound and images in a mirror?
Echoes of sound and images in a mirror involves sound waves and light waves respectively being reflected off a surface.
