incident ray-the light ray striking a reflecting surface is called the incident ray. reflected ray-the light ray obtained after reflection from the surface, in the same medium in which the incident ray is travelling , is called the reflected ray.
a line has a dot on each end and a ray only has one dot and an arrow, it keeps on going.
A line extends infinitely in both directions, a ray in only one. A ray can be shown by drawing a small arrow above the name of the ray, with the arrow pointing in the direction of the ray.
It is a difference of scale. Interplanetary means between planets; it takes a ray of light minutes or hours to go from a planet to another planet. Intergalactic means between galaxies; it takes a ray of light hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years, to travel that distance.
A light beam or beam of light is a narrow cone of light energy radiating from a small source. In optics, a ray is an idealized narrow beam of light.
