What happens when light is reflected off a smooth surface?
it reflicts back up
What happens when a ray of light hits a reflective surface like a mirror?
It'll undergo reflection and will get reflected back
What happens to a ray of light which strikes a block at an angle of 90 degree?
When a ray of light strikes a block at an angle of 90 degrees, it hits the surface perpendicularly. In this case, the light does not bend or refract but continues to travel straight into the block. The light may reflect back at the same angle if the block's surface is reflective, but there is no change in direction due to refraction since the angle of incidence is zero.
What is the intersection point of light rays called?
The point of intersection of light rays which have been intentionally manipulated to come to a point of converge, as we do with a parabolic reflecting surface, is called the focus. The parabolic reflector will (by virtue of mathematical principles and the physics of light) redirect parallel incoming rays back off its surface to the focus of the parabola. Links are provided.
A diver shines light up to the surface of a smooth pond at a 10 degree angle some light passes into the air above and the part that reflects back into the water makes an angle of how many degrees?

What is the bouncing of light rays called?
The bouncing of light rays is called reflection. When light rays strike a surface and return back in the same direction, it is known as reflection.
Light bouncing off a mirror is an example of?
Reflection, where light waves strike a smooth surface and are redirected back without being absorbed by the material.
When light rays bounce back they are called what?
When light rays bounce back, they are called reflections. This phenomenon occurs when light waves strike a surface and are redirected in different directions. Reflections are responsible for how we see objects and images around us.
What happens to the light when it strike a medium?
Light ray bounces back
What is the meaning of reflect?
To bend back; to give a backwa/d turn to; to throw back; especially, to cause to return after striking upon any surface; as, a mirror reflects rays of light; polished metals reflect heat., To give back an image or likeness of; to mirror., To throw back light, heat, or the like; to return rays or beams., To be sent back; to rebound as from a surface; to revert; to return., To throw or turn back the thoughts upon anything; to contemplate. Specifically: To attend earnestly to what passes within the mind; to attend to the facts or phenomena of consciousness; to use attention or earnest thought; to meditate; especially, to think in relation to moral truth or rules., To cast reproach; to cause censure or dishonor.
Which term describes the bouncing back of a beam of light from an opaque surface?
The term that describe bouncing back of a beam of light from an opaque surface is "reflection."
What to do means by the reflaction light and why this occuor?
Reflection of light is the bouncing back of light rays when they strike a surface. This occurs because the surface is smooth enough to allow light to reflect off of it, following the law of reflection where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Reflection is responsible for us being able to see objects around us as light is redirected towards our eyes.
When you see your image in a mirror what is bouncing back from the surface of the mirror?
Light waves are bouncing back from the surface of the mirror. These light waves carry the image of you that you see in the mirror by reflecting the light that hits the mirror back to your eyes.
Why do you see your self in the mirror?
Mirrors have a special surface, usually at the back, that reflects light. This means that light that strikes the mirror's special surface bounces back. Light coming from you goes to the mirror's surface, bounces back and some of that light enters your eyes so that you are able to see your own image.
When did strike on back matchbook covers?
Matchbook covers with a strike on back design were popular in the mid-20th century, typically from the 1930s to the 1970s. This design allowed users to strike the match against the back cover to light it, making it a convenient and common feature on matchbooks during that period.
When light rays bounce back what do we say they are?
When light rays bounce back, we say they are reflected. Reflection is the bouncing back of light waves when they hit a surface.
What is bouncing of light from a surface?
Bouncing of light from a surface refers to the phenomena of reflection, where light rays striking a surface are redirected back into the medium they came from. This reflection occurs due to the smoothness and the angle of the surface.
