Why should you keep the prism in minimum deviation position?
f a line is drawn parallel to the angle of incidence axis (X-axis), it cuts the graph at two points, showing that there are two values of angle of incidence for an angle of deviation. However, at the point of angle of minimum deviation, the line will be tangent to the curve showing that for minimum angle of deviation there is only one angle of incidence.
How many images will be formed when a candle is placed between two plane mirrors at 40 cm's apart?
The answer depends on the angle between the mirrors. The distance between the mirrors does not, in theory, make any difference. If the angle between the mirrors is x degrees, then the theoretical number of images is (360/x)- 1 which is rounded down. In practice, minor defects in the mirrors, refraction, total internal refraction, absorptions, scattering etc will reduce the number of images.The answer depends on the angle between the mirrors.

Definition of acceptance angle of fibre?
maximam angle through which light can b injected to a optical fiber for its total intenal reflection
When a ray passes through two parallel slabs what will be the angle of deviation?
It depends on (a) the angle of incidence, and (b) the relative refractive indices of the slabs as well as the medium on either side of them and between them.
How do you find an arc measure?
It depends on what measure you want: the angle subtended or the length of the curved segment, and also on what information you do have.
Why does the angle of incidence equal the angle of reflection in the case of curved mirrors?
because that's the rule. angle of incident ALWAYS = angle of reflection.
Does curved mirror follow the law of reflection?
Yes, curved mirrors follow the law of reflection. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection at any point on the mirror's surface.
Does the law of reflection apply to curved and flat mirrors?
The law of reflection is valid for any ray of light. So it is also valid for curved and flat surfaces. For curved surfaces, the normal is taken as the normal to the tangent of the point where the light ray hits the surface.
Are the laws of reflection applicable to plane surfaces also valid for curved surfaces?
Yes, the laws of reflection are applicable to curved surfaces as well. The angle of incidence is still equal to the angle of reflection, but both angles are measured with respect to the normal at the point of incidence on the curved surface.
Does light bounce off mirrors in all directions?
yes it does, light travels in all directions.
The angle of reflection is equal to the .......?
The angle of incidence
When is angle of incidence equal to angle of reflection?
The angle of incidence is ALWAYS equal to the angle of reflection! This is one of the laws of reflection.
Does the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection change as the angle of incidence increases?
No, the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection remains the same regardless of the angle of incidence. This relationship is governed by the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
How does the change in the angle of incidence affect the angle of reflection?
The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. When the angle of incidence changes, the angle of reflection will also change accordingly, maintaining the law of reflection.
Can mirror allow light to pass through?
No, mirrors do not allow light to pass through. They reflect light, resulting in a specular reflection where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This is how mirrors create images.
What is the size of the angle of incidence and reflection?
The size of the angle of incidence is equal to the size of the angle of reflection. This is known as the law of reflection, where the angle of incidence is measured between the incident ray and the normal, and the angle of reflection is measured between the reflected ray and the normal.
What is angle of incidence and angle of reflection mean?
The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence. The angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal to the surface at the point of reflection. According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
