What is a line that has a beginning but no end?
A ray.
Can a ray be a line segment?
No. A ray is infinite on one side and ends at a point at the other. A line segment ends in two points. A ray can contain a line segment, as the distance between any two given points on the ray is a line segment.
Is a ray part of a line line?
Yes, because a ray is a line with an end point. It goes on forever in one direction.
In geometry is laser beam a line or a ray?
A ray
Does a line always contains a line segment and ray?
yes, because a line segment is part of a line and a ray goes on forever and it does always happen
What is the difference between normal ray and the normal?
i think that normal is a line segment and normal ray is a line with an arrow head like vector to point in a certain direction....
What is the line perpendicular to a mirror's surface?
The normal (ray).
The angle of refraction is measured between the refracted ray and what other line?
The normal
What is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where a light ray strike?
A normal line is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where a light ray strikes.
What is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where light ray strikes?
A normal line is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where a light ray strikes.
What is meant by the Angle of incidence and Angle of reflection?
The angle of incidence and reflection are reference to of a line normal or perpendicular to a surface. The incidence angle is the incoming ray angle relative to the normal line and the reflection is the outgoing angle relative to the normal line. Both angles are in the plane containing the normal line and the incidence ray.
What is meant by the normal in a ray diagram?
a normal is the middle line from where angle of incidence and angle of reflection are same
How many ray diagrams are formed by convex mirror?
6
Do ray diagrams apply to converging lenses and diverging?
Yes
What is the name of the line drawn perpendiculars to the surface where the light rays strikes?
A normal line is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where a light ray strikes.
What is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where light rays strike?
A normal line is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where a light ray strikes.
What will be the angle of reflection if a ray of light is incident towards a plane mirror at an angle of 45 degrees with the mirror surface?
The law of reflection: When a ray of light reflects off a mirror, the angle of the incidence ray is equal to the angle of the reflection ray. Therefore, an incidence ray of 45 degrees will have a reflection ray of 45 degrees. As both rays are equal, either side of the normal line, then adding both angles equals 45 + 45 = 90 degrees. The normal line is a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror.
