At what angle does a light ray reflect off a mirror?
It reflects at like 45 degrees I think. No, it reflects off at the same angle it hits the mirror. If the light wave hits the mirror at a 30o angle on the left side, it will reflect off at a 30o angle on the right side. Scientists usually measure these angles from an imaginary line perpendicular to the mirror at the point where the light wave hits the reflecting surface; sounds awkward, but it makes the math easier.
How many angles and right angles does a regular hexagon have?
It has 6 angles, none of which are right angles.
Do all angles of a rectangle are right angles?
Yes, the 4 inside angles are right angles
How many angles and how many right angles in a square?
4 right angles, no other angles.
Does a kite always have 4 right angles?
No, the angles aren't right angles.

How do mirrors reflect light?
When light shines onto an object viewed in a mirror, the rays are reflected into the eye. The rays come from a position behind the mirror. The image is the sane size as the object and the same distance from the mirror. In the image, left is right and right becomes left. The angle that the light gets pointed on to the mirror is the same as the angle that gets reflected of the mirror!
Why does our left side appear right side when we see our image in a plane mirror?
In a plane mirror, the image appears laterally inverted because the light rays reflect off the mirror and create a virtual image that appears to be on the opposite side of the mirror. This is why our left side appears as the right side in a mirror reflection.
Why is an image in the mirror laterally inverted?
The image in the mirror is laterally inverted because light rays reflect off the mirror's surface and reverse direction horizontally. This reversal causes the left side of the object to appear on the right side in the mirror image, and vice versa.
What is the name for the line drawn right angles to a mirror surface?
beam
Why are images formed on a mirror Laterally inverted?
Images are laterally inverted on a mirror because the light rays reflect off the mirror's surface and reverse their direction horizontally. This reversal causes the left side of the object to appear as the right side in the mirror image, and vice versa.
Explain what happens when light hits a mirror?
When light hits a mirror, it is reflected off the smooth surface at the same angle it came in. This reflection creates an image of the object that is symmetrical to the actual object, but reversed left to right. Mirrors are designed to reflect light rather than absorb it, which is why we see our reflection when looking at a mirror.
Do concave mirrors reflect sharp images?
It depends on the precise shape of the mirror. What's generally meant by "sharp image" is that the light rays focus at a single point. If the curvature of the mirror is variable, this doesn't happen.
Why does a plane mirror form a laterally inverted image?
A plane mirror forms a laterally inverted image because it reverses the left and right directions of objects. This occurs because light rays reflect off the mirror such that the image appears to be flipped horizontally.
A line drawn at right angles to a mirror or glass surface?
a crack
What is a line drawn at right angles to a glass mirror called?
a straight line
Why do letters appear backwards in a mirror?
In a mirror, the reflection of a letter appears flipped horizontally, causing it to appear backwards. This is because mirrors reflect light in such a way that the left-right orientation of the image is reversed. Your brain interprets this as seeing the letter in reverse.
