What is true about the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection for curved mirrors?
Those angles are equal at the point where a ray of light hits the mirror,regardless of the shape of the mirror.
Why does a reflection not preserve orientation of a figure on the plane?
Because a reflection reverses the direction of the component of the wave vector of the light hitting the reflecting surface which is orthogonal to the surface. The component parallel to the surface will not change. This means the light going towards a mirror, will go away from the mirror after reflection. But if it went from the left to the right, it will continue to go from the left to the right. Same with up and down. In three dimensions this is the same as changing the handedness of the image.
Definition of acceptance angle of fibre?
maximam angle through which light can b injected to a optical fiber for its total intenal reflection
Why is one side of the mirror flat and the other side curved in a microscope?
The flat side of the mirror in a microscope is used to reflect light onto the specimen being observed. This flat mirror allows for even illumination of the specimen. The curved side of the mirror is concave and is used to focus the light onto the specimen, enhancing the clarity and resolution of the image. This combination of a flat and curved mirror optimizes the lighting and imaging capabilities of the microscope.
How tall is a light pole that casts a 24 foot shadow?
You need more info, probably an angle of elevation or something like that. It may be 14ft tall.
What is light reflected at after hitting a mirror?
Light hitting a flat mirror at an angle is reflected at the same angle, relative to the mirror surface.
What is the reflected angle for a light beam hitting a mirror?
The angle of the reflected ray with the normal line to the surface of the mirror is the same as the angle of incidence. Snell's law.
What is a line of reflection?
A line of reflection is a reflected line, often off of a mirror. If a flashlight sends a beam of light at a mirror (the light is called the incident beam), the angle at which it hits the mirror will equall the angle at which the reflected beam of light (called the reflected beam), exits the mirror. This is called the Law of Reflection. This is why light is reflected from a mirror at the same angle at which light struck its surface. A line of reflection is a reflected line, often off of a mirror. If a flashlight sends a beam of light at a mirror (the light is called the incident beam), the angle at which it hits the mirror will equall the angle at which the reflected beam of light (called the reflected beam), exits the mirror. This is called the Law of Reflection. This is why light is reflected from a mirror at the same angle at which light struck its surface.
What happen to the light when its hits the mirror?
When light hits a mirror, it is reflected back with the same angle as it hit the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (incoming light) is equal to the angle of reflection (reflected light).
What is the beam of light reflected off the mirror?
The reflected beam of light follows the law of reflection, where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This means that the angle at which the light beam hits the mirror will be the same as the angle at which it bounces off the mirror.
What happen to the rays as it hits the surface of the mirror?
When light rays hit the surface of a mirror, they are reflected back at the same angle they hit the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light ray hits the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the light ray is reflected off the mirror).
What happens when a ray of light hits a mirror?
When a ray of light hits a mirror, it gets reflected off the mirror's surface at the same angle that it approached the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light ray hits the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the reflected ray leaves the mirror).
What will happen when a ray of light is shone at a mirror?
When a ray of light is shone at a mirror, it will be reflected following the law of reflection, where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. The reflection will produce a mirror image of the object or light source.
When light reflected in a mirror what is special about the angle of inncident?
It is equal to the angle of reflection.
Why can reflection be seen clearly in a mirror?
Reflection is seen clearly in a mirror because mirrors have a smooth surface that reflects light in a regular, predictable manner. The angle of incidence of the light rays hitting the mirror is equal to the angle of reflection, allowing the reflected image to appear sharp and accurate.
What happens to a beam of light when you shine it on mirror?
When you shine a beam of light on a mirror, the light is reflected off the mirror's surface. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light beam hits the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the light beam bounces off the mirror). This is known as the law of reflection.
When a light wave is reflected from a mirror there is a change in its?
When a light wave is reflected from a mirror, its direction changes. The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. The frequency and wavelength of the light wave remain the same after reflection.
