so it is the same when you put a maginifing glass up to a leaf- you make sure that the dot is as small as can be and you will have a hole in the leaf!
so this happen by you focusing all the light on spot that you want to burn - remember light gives off heat (same happens when youshine light at an angle toward a mirror)

What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror?
They are reflected at the angle of incidence.
What is the largest possible angle of incidence for a light ray traveling toward a mirror?
90 degrees is the largest possible angle of incidence because it is then parallel to the face of the mirror and is grazing the mirror.
How does the angle at which light hits a mirror compare to the angle at which it leaves the mirror?
The angle is the same but on the other side of the perpendicular to the surface of the mirror at the point at which the light hits the mirror.
What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror at an angle?
they are reflected at an equal opposing angle on a first-surface mirror. on a second surface (bathroom mirror) they are also reflected, but some are absorbed/disbursed by impurities and inconsistencies in the glass.
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.

What happens to the light wave after it stikes the mirror?
what happens when you direct light waves at an angle into a mirror
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 it light when it strikes in plane mirror?
It is reflected at the same angle it hit the mirror at
What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror?
They are reflected at the angle of incidence.
What is the largest possible angle of incidence for a light ray traveling toward a mirror?
90 degrees is the largest possible angle of incidence because it is then parallel to the face of the mirror and is grazing the mirror.
What happens when a light ray strikes a flat mirror?
It will bounce at the same angle that it came. \ / \__/
How does the angle at which light hits a mirror compare to the angle at which it leaves the mirror?
The angle is the same but on the other side of the perpendicular to the surface of the mirror at the point at which the light hits the mirror.
What is light reflected at after hitting a mirror?
Light hitting a flat mirror at an angle is reflected at the same angle, relative to the mirror surface.
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 happens when lights hits a mirror?
Depending on which angle the light hits, it will reflect off the mirror and go somewhere else.
What happens to the path of light as it strikes a mirror and then a hand lens?
It is reflected at an opposite angle, and focused by the lens.
What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror at an angle?
they are reflected at an equal opposing angle on a first-surface mirror. on a second surface (bathroom mirror) they are also reflected, but some are absorbed/disbursed by impurities and inconsistencies in the glass.
