If I remember correctly, the angle that the light makes with the plane of the surface is called the incident angle.

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 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 do you call a Glass in MArathi?
For Glass- like used for drinking- its called "pela" For Glass- like the one in mirror- its called "kach"
What happens when you shine light at an angle toward a mirror?
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)
How do mirror form an image?
A mirror is formed by a glass plate with a reflective coating behind it. A mirror reflects the right that hits it, thereby forming an image of what is in front of the mirror.

What is a flat sheet of glass that has a smooth silver colored coating on one side?
It is normally called a mirror.
What is a reflected piece of glass that you look at yourself into called?
Mirror
Why do the sides of a fish tank look like a mirror when observed from a specific angle?
The sides of a fish tank look like a mirror when observed from specific angles because of glass refraction. When the light is reflected off of the glass at certain angles, it looks mirror like.
What makes a plane mirror a glass mirror?
The glass.
What happens when a ray of light is directed at a block of glass?
When a ray of light is directed at a glass block, it may be reflected. However, in most cases, refraction will take place when the ray is redirected in a different angle.
What happens when light falls on mirror?
It is reflected. Depending on the shape of the mirror, this can be at a variety of angles. Assuming the question refers to a flat mirror that is hung on a wall; a plane (flat) mirror has an imaginary straight line at a right-angle to it, called the normal. A ray of light hits the mirror at an angle to the normal, but is reflected at the same angle that it hits the mirror in the opposite direction. So if a ray hits the mirror at 45 degrees from the normal, it will be reflected at 45 degrees from the normal in the opposite direction.
What is a line drawn at right angles to a glass mirror called?
a straight line
What is a synonym for looking glass?
A synonym for "looking glass" is mirror.
Why will a diamond block refract light at a bigger angle that glass?
This is a property called the refractive index. It is related loosely to the electrical permittivity of diamond and more specifically to the arrangement of electrons in the crystal lattice.
