When the incident angle equals the transmitted angle?
Either when they are both 0 degrees (the incident ray is perpendicular to the surface) or the refractive indices of the two media are the same.Either when they are both 0 degrees (the incident ray is perpendicular to the surface) or the refractive indices of the two media are the same.Either when they are both 0 degrees (the incident ray is perpendicular to the surface) or the refractive indices of the two media are the same.Either when they are both 0 degrees (the incident ray is perpendicular to the surface) or the refractive indices of the two media are the same.
What happen when a ray of light falls perpendicular to the surface of mirror?
it reflects
Why a light ray falling perpendicular on a medium does not reflect?
It DOES reflect. Straight back to where it came from.
How do you measure the angles of incidence and reflection?
They are the angles made by the incident ray and the reflected ray with the line perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point of reflection.
What is the angle formed by a light ray coming into a mirror?
The angle between the ray and the perpendicular to the mirror (NOT the mirror itself), at the point where the ray hits the mirror is called the angle of incidence.
