What the critical angle and is and what happens to light and the ceitical angle?
It spells "critical" correctly
What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror?
They are reflected at the angle of incidence.
At what angle does a light ray reflect off a mirror?
It reflects at like 45 degrees I think. No, it reflects off at the same angle it hits the mirror. If the light wave hits the mirror at a 30o angle on the left side, it will reflect off at a 30o angle on the right side. Scientists usually measure these angles from an imaginary line perpendicular to the mirror at the point where the light wave hits the reflecting surface; sounds awkward, but it makes the math easier.
What happens to the angle of reflected light rays as the angle of incident light rays becomes steeper?
The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Therefore, if your angle of incidence is 15 degrees, your angle of reflection equals that also. If it is 45 degrees, your angle of reflection is also 45 degrees, and so on.
If light hits a smooth hard surface at a 35 degree angle at what angle will it reflect of the surface?
By convention angles are measured from the normal to the reflecting surface. The angle of incidence, 35 degrees, is equal to the angle of reflection. In this case 35 degrees. The answer is 35 degrees.
The interaction of light beams with a surface is called?
The interaction of light beams with a surface is called regular reflection when the light beams reflect off all points of the surface at the same angle. When the light beams hit the surface and reflect off in different angles it is called diffuse reflection.

What happens when light hits mirror?
if it is a normal mirror the light we reflect of the mirror from a different angle the angle on which it comes from is the same angles as it goes out.
What happens when lights hits a mirror?
Depending on which angle the light hits, it will reflect off the mirror and go somewhere else.
What wil happen when light is shone at a mirror?
it will shine bak x
Can mirrors reflect laser beams?
Of course. Mirrors are not perfectly reflective and lasers can be built with any required power. Do you want the mirror to survive or not? Either way the answer is yes.
What happens when light hits foil?
It should reflect the light.
Why does light reflect in a regular angle?
Newton: "The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection." That is good enough for most people.
How does light bounce off things?
Light bouncing off things is also known as reflecting light. If the material is transparent, most of the light will pass through, only some will be reflected. If the material is translucent, some of the light will pass through, some will be reflected. If the material is opaque, only a few of the light will pass through, most light will be reflected. I wrote this in a hurry; it's almost time to go; I'm sorry; I hope it will be useful to you though.
Can a beam of light pass through starch solution?
yes.There are numerous starch particles in the starch solution.They reflect light to our eyes thus we can see light beams.
What will happen when a light is shone at a mirror?
it will reflect off it
Why do you need a mirror to see yourself?
Regular reflection: Occurs when light beams are reflected at the same angle. When your eye detects the reflected beams, you can see a reflection on the surface.
