state the two laws of reflection
Answers
Reflection
The process of bouncing back of light rays in same medium after striking at the interface of two media is called reflection of light.
Laws of reflection -
Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
Incident ray , reflected ray and normal to the reflecting surface always lie in the same plane.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Incident ray - The ray of light which travels towards the mirror is called incident ray.
Reflected ray - The ray which bounces off the surface of mirror is called reflected ray.
Angle of incidence - Angle made by incident ray with normal ray. It denoted by
Angle of reflection - Angle made by reflected ray with normal ray. It denoted by
Important information about reflection -
A ray striking the surface normally retraces it's path.
When a ray strikes normally , angle of incidence is 0. According to the laws of reflection,. Thus an incident ray retraces it's path.
Laws of reflection are also obeyed by spherical or curved surfaces.
