Question

Laws of Reflection?
​

Answer 1

⭐ Answer ⭐

Light rays change direction when they reflect off a surface, move from one transparent medium into another, or travel through a medium whose composition is continuously changing. The law of reflection states that, on reflection from a smooth surface, the angle of the reflected ray is equal to the angle of the incident ray. (By convention, all angles in geometrical optics are measured with respect to the normal to the surface—that is, to a line perpendicular to the surface.)

⭐ More information ⭐

The reflected ray is always in the plane defined by the incident ray and the normal to the surface. The law of reflection can be used to understand the images produced by plane and curved mirrors. Unlike mirrors, most natural surfaces are rough on the scale of the wavelength of light, and, as a consequence, parallel incident light rays are reflected in many different directions, or diffusely. Diffuse reflection is responsible for the ability to see most illuminated surfaces from any position—rays reach the eyes after reflecting off every portion of the surface.

Answer 2

The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence when a ray of light, a radar pulse, or anything similar is reflected off a smooth surface,

Laws of Reflection are :

• The incident ray, reflected ray, and normal to the mirror surface all reside in the same plane, according to the first law of reflection.

• The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, according to the second law of reflection. The mirror's normal is used to calculate both angles.
