Question

Define reflection_______​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

Reflection is where light bounces off a surface. What you see in a mirror is a reflection. Light that hits a shiny surface bounces off it with the angle of reflection the same as the angle of incidence. For example, If you hold a mirror at arms length and turn the mirror at 45 degrees, someone away from you but at 45 degrees relative to the mirror will see your reflection.

The angle of incidence is the angle from perpendicular to the surface to the ray of light hitting surface. Similarly, the angle of reflection of the angle from the perpendicular to the surface to the ray of light reflection from the surface.

When a ray of light approaches a smooth polished surface and the light ray bounces back, it is called the reflection of light. The incident light ray which lands upon the surface is said to be reflected off the surface. The ray that bounces back is called the reflected ray. If a perpendicular were to be drawn on a reflecting surface, it would be called normal. The figure below shows the reflection of an incident beam on a plane mirror.

The laws of reflection determine the reflection of incident light rays on reflecting surfaces, like mirrors, smooth metal surfaces and clear water. Let’s consider a plane mirror as shown in the figure above. The law of reflection states that :-

The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal all lie in the same plane

The angle of incidence = Angle of reflection

Specular Reflection refers to a clear and sharp reflection, like the ones you get in a mirror. A mirror is made of glass which is coated with a uniform layer of a highly reflective material such as powder. This reflective surface reflects almost all the light incident on it uniformly. There is not much variation in the angles of reflections between various points. This means that the haziness and the blurring are almost entirely eliminated.
