What is the angle of incidence when a ray falls normally on a mirror?
0 degrees
What is the angle of incidence when a ray of light falls on spherical mirror from its centre of curvature?
That ray of light is just a radius of the sphere. It's perpendicular to the sphere everywhere, so the angle of incidence is zero ... the ray of light arrives along the normal to the mirror at any point.
What happen when a ray of light falls perpendicular to the surface of mirror?
it reflects
What does angle of incidence meen?
It is the direction which a moving line falls upon another. For example, the angle at which the wing is fixed to the fuselage of an aeoplane measuring relative to the axis of the fuselage
How does image formed by plane mirror?
A highly polishes plane surface which reflects light regularly is called a plane mirror. Image is formed as the light returns to the first medium when it just falls on the other surface of the second medium.
What degre3e is the angle of reflection if a ray falls normally on a plane mirror?
0o
The angle of incedence is equal to the angle of reflection?
This is the second law of reflection phenomenon. So if a ray falls normally on the reflecting mirror then the angle of incidence will be 0. So as the angle of reflection also is to be 0, the ray just retraces its path. That is it is coming back in the same straight line.
What is the angle of incidence when a ray falls normally on a mirror?
0 degrees
Which phenomenon occurs when light falls on a smooth mirror?
Specular Reflection
Why ray of light not bend when it falls perpendicularly on any surfaces?
I think you would have to say that it does ... the portion that's not absorbed is bent exactly 180 degrees from its original path. The result of perpendicular incidence is perfectly consistent with the general rule of reflection that says the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. In the case where the ray of light falls perpendicularly on the reflecting surface, the angle of incidence ... the angle between the arriving path and the normal ... is zero, and so is the angle of reflection. So what's the problem ?
One difference between reflection and refraction of light waves is that?
reflection is when light its something like a mirror and refraction is light going through something solid that is not like a mirror when light falls on a surface and bounces back, it is reflection and when light is absorbed by the surface or passes through the surface but does not bounces back, it is refraction.
Reflection of light in all directions?
When light falls on a plane polished surface,it changes its direction.This is called reflection of light.
What are facts Angle Falls?
angle falls is the largest waterfall in the world by dc
Why is angle falls called angle falls?
it is at a vertex that is what would make sence

Does Sunlight falls on everything equally or at an angle?
at an angle
What Greek falls in love with their reflection?
That would be Narcissus.
