Question

A light ray strikes a mirror as shown in the diagram.


1 = normal 2 = incident ray 3 = reflected ray



1 = reflected ray 2 = normal 3 = angle of reflection



1 = incident ray 2 = normal 3 = angle of incidence



1 = incident ray 2 = normal 3 = angle of reflection

Answer 1

The correct answer is 4) 1 = incident ray 2 = normal 3 = angle of reflection

About reflection:

• When a beam of light strikes a smooth polished surface and bounces back, this is referred to as light reflection.
• The incident light beam lands on the surface and is reflected back.
• The reflected ray is the ray that rebounds back.
• The phenomenon of light bouncing back in the same medium after striking the surface of any object is known as reflection.

Laws of Reflection:

• The beam of light that approaches the mirror is referred to as "Incident Ray" in the graphic provided with the question.
• The "Reflected Beam" is the ray that leaves the mirror.
• A perpendicular line known as the "Normal" is drawn at the point of incidence where the incident ray strikes the mirror.
• The "Angle of Incidence" and "Angle of Reflection" are determined by this normal, which splits the incident and reflected rays equally.
