If I remember correctly, the angle that the light makes with the plane of the surface is called the incident angle.
Incident angle.

Which angle hits a mirror or glass block?
The angle does not hit anything! A ray of light hits a mirror or glass block and the angle that the ray makes with the vertical at the point of contact is the angle of incidence.
What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror at an angle?
they are reflected at an equal opposing angle on a first-surface mirror. on a second surface (bathroom mirror) they are also reflected, but some are absorbed/disbursed by impurities and inconsistencies in the glass.
What do you call a Glass in MArathi?
For Glass- like used for drinking- its called "pela" For Glass- like the one in mirror- its called "kach"
What happens when you shine light at an angle toward a mirror?
so it is the same when you put a maginifing glass up to a leaf- you make sure that the dot is as small as can be and you will have a hole in the leaf! so this happen by you focusing all the light on spot that you want to burn - remember light gives off heat (same happens when youshine light at an angle toward a mirror)
How do mirror form an image?
A mirror is formed by a glass plate with a reflective coating behind it. A mirror reflects the right that hits it, thereby forming an image of what is in front of the mirror.

Does a light ray bend if it enters a glass block perpendicularly?
No, a light ray does not bend when it enters a glass block perpendicularly. It will continue in a straight path without changing direction when entering the glass block at a 90-degree angle.
What happens when light falls on mirror?
It is reflected. Depending on the shape of the mirror, this can be at a variety of angles. Assuming the question refers to a flat mirror that is hung on a wall; a plane (flat) mirror has an imaginary straight line at a right-angle to it, called the normal. A ray of light hits the mirror at an angle to the normal, but is reflected at the same angle that it hits the mirror in the opposite direction. So if a ray hits the mirror at 45 degrees from the normal, it will be reflected at 45 degrees from the normal in the opposite direction.

What is a flat sheet of glass that has a smooth silver colored coating on one side?
It is normally called a mirror.
What is a reflected piece of glass that you look at yourself into called?
Mirror
What happens to a ray of light when it hits a glass block at 90 degrees?
When a ray of light hits a glass block at a 90-degree angle (normal incidence), it continues to travel through the glass block without changing its direction. This is known as refraction without deviation.
Why do the sides of a fish tank look like a mirror when observed from a specific angle?
The sides of a fish tank look like a mirror when observed from specific angles because of glass refraction. When the light is reflected off of the glass at certain angles, it looks mirror like.
What happens when a ray of light is directed at a block of glass?
When a ray of light is directed at a glass block, it may be reflected. However, in most cases, refraction will take place when the ray is redirected in a different angle.
What will happen when a ray light is on a glass block?
When a ray of light passes through a glass block, it will refract (bend) due to the change in speed as it moves from one medium (air) to another (glass). The light ray will also experience total internal reflection if the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, causing the light to reflect back into the glass block rather than refract out of it.
What happens when you shine a light in to a glass block?
When light enters a glass block, it changes speed and bends due to refraction, causing the light beam to deviate from its original path. The light exits the glass block at a different angle than it entered. This phenomenon is a result of the change in the speed of light as it passes from air into the denser medium of the glass.
