Define Incident Ray and Reflection Ray.
Answers
Incident ray - the ray of light falling on the surface AB is called the incident ray.
Reflected ray - the incident ray bouncing back in the same medium after striking the reflecting surface is called reflected ray. Angle of incidence - the angle form between the incident ray and the normal is the angle of incidence.
Incident Ray :
A ray of light falling on the surface separating two mediums is the incident ray. Refracted ray - A ray of light traveling in another medium, with change in direction is the refracted ray. Angle of incidence - The angle which the incident ray makes with the normal is called angle of incidence.
Reflection Ray:
the incident ray bouncing back in the same medium after striking the reflecting surface is called reflected ray. Angle of incidence - the angle form between the incident ray and the normal is the angle of incidence.
