When light is reflected is the angle of incidence at right angles to the angle of reflection?
Not usually. (Only when the angle is 45 degrees.)"The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection."
The angle of reflection is equal to the .......?
The angle of incidence
When is angle of incidence equal to angle of reflection?
The angle of incidence is ALWAYS equal to the angle of reflection! This is one of the laws of reflection.
A ray of light strikes a plane mirror such that angle with the mirror is 30 degreewhat is the angle of reflection?
30 degrees as the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
What will be the angle of reflection if a ray of light is incident towards a plane mirror at an angle of 30 degrees with the mirror surface?
If the ray hits the mirror at an angle of 30 degrees with the mirror surface, the complementary angle that the ray makes with the normal (perpendicular) to the mirror at the point of incidence is (90 - 30) = 60 degrees and since angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection in a plane mirror, the angle of reflection is 60 degrees.
If a wave hits a smooth surface at an angel of incidence of 40 degrees the angle of reflection is?
The angle of reflection is 40 degrees. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
When light is reflected is the angle of incidence at right angles to the angle of reflection?
Not usually. (Only when the angle is 45 degrees.)"The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection."
The angle of reflection is equal to the .......?
The angle of incidence
What is the angle of incidence if the angle of reflection is 15 degrees?
If the ray is incident at right angles to the reflection surface, angle of Incidence will be 90 degrees and so will be the angle of reflection. In such a case, the incident ray, the normal and the reflected ray coincide.
When angle of incidence is equal to zero?
That happens when the incident ray is perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence.
What does the angle of incidence always equal?
What happens when light rays travel from water into the air
When angle of incidence is equal to angle of refraction?
The second angle of incidence is equal to the angle of refractions.
What is the angle of reflection 20 degrees from the surface?
The key is to recognize that "the angle of INCIDENCE is equal to the angle of REFLECTION", for an 'Elastic' collision. So the answer is 20 degrees.
When is angle of incidence equal to angle of reflection?
The angle of incidence is ALWAYS equal to the angle of reflection! This is one of the laws of reflection.
If light strikes a body of water at an angle of 55 degrees the angle of reflection will be what?
The angle of incidence is ALWAYS equal to the angle of reflection, therefore the degree of the angle reflection is 55 degrees.
A ray of light strikes a plane mirror such that angle with the mirror is 30 degreewhat is the angle of reflection?
30 degrees as the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
What is equal to angle of reflection?
The angle of incidence
