What else can I help you with?
What general statement can you make about the relationship between the angle at which light strikes a mirror and the angle at which is reflected?
the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
A ray of light strikes a mirror the angle formed by a incident ray and the reflected ray measures 90 degrees.what are the measurements of the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?
yes.
What will be the angle of reflection if a ray of light is incident towards a plane mirror at an angle of 30 degrees with the mirror surface?
If the ray hits the mirror at an angle of 30 degrees with the mirror surface, the complementary angle that the ray makes with the normal (perpendicular) to the mirror at the point of incidence is (90 - 30) = 60 degrees and since angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection in a plane mirror, the angle of reflection is 60 degrees.
What is the angle of incidence if a reflected wave bounces off a mirror with an angle of reflection equal to 55º?
If a light ray is reflected from a flat mirror with a reflection angle of 55o then the angle of incidence was also 55o. When reflecting from a mirrored surface, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
Is the angle of incidence less than the angle of reflection on a plane mirror?
they are equal
What happens when light strikes a mirror?
When light strikes a mirror, it is reflected back at the same angle it hit the mirror, following the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light beam strikes the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the light beam bounces off the mirror).
What happens when normal incidence strikes mirror?
When light with normal incidence strikes a mirror, it reflects back at the same angle in the opposite direction. This is known as specular reflection, where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
Will light always reflect light at the same angle it strikes the mirror?
Yes, according to the law of reflection, light will reflect off a mirror at the same angle it strikes it. This principle is known as the angle of incidence being equal to the angle of reflection.
What happens it light when it strikes in plane mirror?
When light strikes a plane mirror, it is reflected in accordance with the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This reflection results in the formation of a virtual image that appears to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
When a light ray strikes a mirror it?
When a light ray strikes a mirror, it reflects off the mirror's surface following the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This causes the reflected ray to bounce off the mirror at the same angle as the incident ray, creating a clear image if the mirror is smooth and flat.
What happens to a path of a light beam when it falls on a mirror?
When a light beam falls on a mirror, it gets reflected following the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light beam strikes the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the light beam bounces off the mirror). This process allows us to see our reflection in mirrors.
What general statement can you make about the relationship between the angle at which light strikes a mirror and the angle at which is reflected?
the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
Can light energy be reflected?
Yes, light energy can be reflected when it strikes a surface that is smooth and shiny, such as a mirror. The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence, according to the law of reflection.
What happens to the light wave after it stikes the mirror?
When a light wave strikes a mirror, it undergoes reflection, which means it bounces off the mirror's surface. The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. The mirror changes the direction of the light wave but does not change its speed or frequency.
What are the properties of refletion?
Reflection is the bouncing back of light when it strikes a surface. It follows the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Reflection can produce a clear image in a mirror or a shiny surface.
A incoming beam of light strikes a mirror at an angle and reflects. what appears of the angle of the reflected beam?
The angle of reflection will be equal to the angle of incidence. This is known as the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
Light strikes a mirror at 20 degrees to the normal what will the angle of reflection be?
The angle of reflection will be equal to the angle of incidence, which is 20 degrees in this case.
