Question

Define reflection. State the laws of reflection. Draw a neat diagram to show reflection

of light​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

First, we consider reflection, as shown in the diagram below for a light wave striking a surface. We identify the incoming ray as the incident ray and the outgoing ray as the reflected ray. Concomitantly, the angleθ

i

that the incoming ray makes with a line (dashed in the diagram) normal to the surface is called the angle of incidence. The angle θ

r

for the reflected ray is called the angle of reflect.

The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, or, stated mathematically.

And also the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface of the mirror all lie in the same plane.

Answer 2

Answer:

The bouncing back of light after hitting a surface is known as reflection of light.
