Incident ray or ray of incidence.
The beam of light that travels towards the mirror is called the incident ray.
When light hits an object, it bounces off and travels in all directions. Some of this light enters our eyes, allowing us to see the object. When this light hits a mirror, it reflects off the mirror's surface and back towards our eyes, creating the reflection of the image.
The light is reflected from Barry's tie surface towards the mirror, then bounces off the mirror surface and travels to Barry's eyes. Barry sees the reflected light, which allows him to see his tie's color and pattern without directly looking at it.
The phenomenon is called refraction. When light travels from air to glass, it bends due to the change in speed caused by the different optical densities of the two mediums, leading to the refraction of light.
A periscope uses two mirrors – a top mirror and a bottom mirror. The top mirror reflects light from above and directs it downward towards the bottom mirror. The bottom mirror then reflects the light out towards the observer's eye, allowing them to see objects that are not in their direct line of sight.
The ray of light that strikes a mirror is called an incident ray.
it reflects back since mirror is a opaque surface .this phenomenon of bouncing back of light is called reflection.

When light hits a mirror, it either reflects onto another mirror, or bends and travels until it hit an opaque object.
You can point a mirror towards the sunlight, which would cause the light to reflect off the mirror, and if the mirror is tilted to a position towards your friends house, then the light will bounce off into his/her house.
It travels to the magical land of the fairies

The distance light travels in a year is called light-year
The ray of light that strikes a mirror is called an incident ray.
A mirror has no effect on the speed of light, but it has a radical effect on thevelocity of the wavefront, because it reverses the direction of the normalcomponent of the velocity.
Light bounces off a mirror due to the reflection property; the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. When you look at a mirror, the light reflected from the mirror's surface travels into your eyes, allowing you to see the image of yourself or objects in front of the mirror.
