Why angle of reflection 45 degree when angle of incidence is 90 degree when a ray is reflected?
The angle of reflection being 45 degrees when the angle of incidence is 90 degrees is a misunderstanding of the basic principles of reflection. According to the law of reflection, the angle of reflection is always equal to the angle of incidence, measured from the normal (the imaginary line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence). Therefore, if the angle of incidence is 90 degrees relative to the normal, the angle of reflection would also be 90 degrees, indicating that the ray reflects back along the same path.
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.
What is the angle of incident if the reflected ray is 24 degree to incident ray?
We know angle of incidence = angle of reflection. Hence, angle of incidence will be 24/2 = 12 degrees. (which is also angle of reflection)
Does the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection change as the angle of incidence increases?
No, the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection remains the same regardless of the angle of incidence. This relationship is governed by the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
How does the change in the angle of incidence affect the angle of reflection?
The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. When the angle of incidence changes, the angle of reflection will also change accordingly, maintaining the law of reflection.
What is the size of the angle of incidence and reflection?
The size of the angle of incidence is equal to the size of the angle of reflection. This is known as the law of reflection, where the angle of incidence is measured between the incident ray and the normal, and the angle of reflection is measured between the reflected ray and the normal.
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.
What is angle of incidence and angle of reflection mean?
The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence. The angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal to the surface at the point of reflection. According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
What happens to the angle of reflection when the angle of incidence decreases?
When the angle of incidence decreases, the angle of reflection also decreases. This relationship follows the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. As the angle of incidence becomes smaller, so does the angle of reflection in relation to the perpendicular line.
What will the angle of reflection when the angle between the incident ray and the reflecting surface of the mirror is 30 degree?
You have given the glancing angle as 30 degree. So the angle of incidence = 90-30 = 60 deg As i = r by the law of reflection the angle of reflection = 60 deg
According to the law of reflection what is the angle of incidence?
According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
