When light is reflected is the angle of incidence at right angles to the angle of reflection?
Not usually. (Only when the angle is 45 degrees.)"The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection."
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.
A ray of light strikes a plane mirror such that angle with the mirror is 30 degreewhat is the angle of reflection?
30 degrees as the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
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 reflection 20 degrees from the surface?
The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence, so if the angle of incidence is 20 degrees, then the angle of reflection will also be 20 degrees.
If a wave hits a smooth surface at an angel of incidence of 40 degrees the angle of reflection is?
The angle of reflection will be equal to the angle of incidence, so it will also be 40 degrees. This is based on the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection when a wave hits a smooth surface.
Of a wave hits a smooth surface at an angle of incidence of 40 degrees the angle of reflection is?
The angle of reflection will be equal to the angle of incidence, so it will also be 40 degrees. This is known as the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
What is the angle of incidence if a reflected wave bounces off a mirror at an angle of 65 degrees?
The angle of incidence would be equal to the angle of reflection. Therefore, the angle of incidence would also be 65 degrees.
According to the law of reflection if the angle of incidence is 45 degrees what is the angle of reflection?
If the angle of incidence is 45 degrees, then the angle of reflection will also be 45 degrees. This is because the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection according to the law of reflection.
If the angle of incidence is 50 degrees what is the angle of reflection?
The angle of reflection would be 50 degrees as well, following the law of reflection which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
Angle between incident and reflected rays is 60. what is the value of angle of incidence?
The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Therefore, if the angle between the incident and reflected rays is 60 degrees, the angle of incidence is also 60 degrees.
What would be the angle of incidence for an angle of reflection of 47 degrees?
The angle of incidence would also be 47 degrees. According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection when a ray of light reflects off a surface.
When light is reflected is the angle of incidence at right angles to the angle of reflection?
Not usually. (Only when the angle is 45 degrees.)"The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection."
The angle of reflection is equal to the .......?
The angle of incidence
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 the angle of incidence if the angle of reflection is 15 degrees?
If the ray is incident at right angles to the reflection surface, angle of Incidence will be 90 degrees and so will be the angle of reflection. In such a case, the incident ray, the normal and the reflected ray coincide.
