What happens when a ray of light hits a plane mirror?
It has the time of its life.
What happens when a light ray hits a triangle at a right angle?
Presuming you mean a prism, then the light will pass through the (transparent) material of the prism in a straight line, but will be deflected upon exit.This is because two things happen too light passing through a prism.a) the different wavelengths of light travel at different velocities, (all slower than the speed of light in a vacuum), andb) the light will be deflected when it leaves the prism.
How much will a one diopter prism deviate a ray of light in a distance of one meter?
A one diopter prism will deviate a ray of light 1cm at a distance of one meter.
What happens when a ray of light hits a reflective surface like a mirror?
It'll undergo reflection and will get reflected back
Which angle hits a mirror or glass block?
The angle does not hit anything! A ray of light hits a mirror or glass block and the angle that the ray makes with the vertical at the point of contact is the angle of incidence.
What happens when you shine a light ray into a light prisim?
When the light ray strikes the surface of the prism, both when it enters and when it leaves, it bends owing to the different in the speeds of light in air and the material of which the prism is made. The amount of bending depends in part on the frequency of the light which is related to the colour of the light, hence the appearance of a colour spectrum which can be seen from a triangular prism.
What happens when a ray shines through a prism?
it makes a rainbow
What happens when a ray of light is shone into a prism?
The various frequencies are separated.
What happens if the ray of light hits the mirror?
The ray of light reflects.
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.
What happens when a ray of light hits something?
it reflects
What happens when a light ray enter a prism?
All the colors of the visible light spectrum are made visible.
What happens when a light ray enters a prism?
All the colors of the visible light spectrum are made visible.
What happens when a ray of light hits a concave mirror?
It converges.
What happens when a ray of light hits a plane mirror?
It has the time of its life.
What will happen the ray is shone at the prism?
when the ray is shone at the prism, refraction occurs and the light will split into it's original colour.
When does total internal refraction happen?
Total internal refraction happens when a light ray travel from a lighter medium to a denser medium. Ex. A light ray passing through a Prism.
