90 degrees is the largest possible angle of incidence because it is then parallel to the face of the mirror and is grazing the mirror.

What is an angle of incidence?

The smallest possible angle of incidence for a light ray traveling toward a mirror is 1800. This is because then, the light ray will be either parallel or on the principal axis and hence, the angle of incidence would be 00.


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.


In plane mirror the angle of incidence equals the angle of?

reflection.


What is the relation ship between angle of incidence and angle of reflection in a plane mirror?

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection in a plane mirror. This is known as the law of reflection, which states that the angle at which a light ray hits a mirror is equal to the angle at which it bounces off the mirror.


What is the angle between the mirror and the normal?

The angle between the mirror and the normal is called the angle of incidence. It is the angle formed between the incident ray (incoming light ray) and the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror) at the point of incidence.


What are the values of angle of incidence and angle of reflection for normal incidence of light on a plane mirror?

put a real answer on here, not Study and youll "Know" not now


If the angle between the mirror and incident ray is 50 what will be the angle of incidence?

The angle of incidence is defined as the angle between the incoming light and the line that is normal to the surface at the point where the light 'hits' the surface. The reflectrion angle is the same as the incidence angle. If the angle between the incident ray and the mirror ray is 50, then the angle of incidence is half of this. That is, 25 degrees.


What is the angle of incidence of mirrors?

The angle of incidence of mirrors is the angle between the incident ray (incoming light ray) and the normal (perpendicular line) to the surface of the mirror at the point where the ray strikes the mirror.


What are the values of angle of incidence and angle of reflection for normal incidence of light on a plane mirror surface?

For normal incidence of light on a plane mirror surface, the angle of incidence is 0 degrees and the angle of reflection is also 0 degrees. This means that the light ray hits the mirror surface perpendicularly and reflects back along the same path.


What will be the reason - a plane mirror has an angle of incidence O degree?

The light ray arrives perpendicular to the plane of the mirror.


What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror?

They are reflected at the angle of incidence.


What is the angle of incidence when a ray falls normally on a mirror?

0 degrees
