Incident ray or ray of incidence.
When light travels from air to glass it is called refraction. As it travels, the light ray slows down and bends towards the normal. The normal is a line drawn at right angles to the boundary of the medium.
Light travels in the direction it was emitted. Light cannot steer itself towards any particular object.
As light hits a mirror, an imaginary line, called the
Yes because, Light travels in a straight path called a light ray.
A convex mirror reflects light in diverging directions due to its shape.
it reflects back since mirror is a opaque surface .this phenomenon of bouncing back of light is called reflection.
When light travels from air to glass it is called refraction. As it travels, the light ray slows down and bends towards the normal. The normal is a line drawn at right angles to the boundary of the medium.
When light hits a mirror, it either reflects onto another mirror, or bends and travels until it hit an opaque object.
You can point a mirror towards the sunlight, which would cause the light to reflect off the mirror, and if the mirror is tilted to a position towards your friends house, then the light will bounce off into his/her house.
It travels to the magical land of the fairies
The distance light travels in a year is called light-year
Light travels at about 186,000 miles/second... If the mirror is 3 ft away, the light has to travel 6 ft... you do the math.
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.

towards sun light
Light travels in the direction it was emitted. Light cannot steer itself towards any particular object.
A mirror
A concave mirror would focus the light back towards the focal point of the mirror. You would not be able to use the mirror effectively with a concave.
