Explain the laws of refelction and refraction
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
laws of reflection
the principle that when a ray of light, radar pulse, or the like, is reflected from a smooth surface the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence, and the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence all lie in the same plane.
laws of refraction
The incident ray, reflected ray and the normal, to the interface of any two given mediums; all lie in the same plane. The ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence and sine of the angle of refraction is constant.
Reflection:
The law of reflection that the incident ray , the reflected ray and the normal to the surface of the mirror all lie in the same plane .
Refraction:
The angle of refraction is related to the angle of incidence by snell law.
