State the two laws of reflection. What is a reflected ray ?
Answers
Answer:
The normal line divides the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray into two equal angles. ... The law of reflection states that when a ray of light reflects off a surface, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
Incident ray: The ray of light which falls on the mirror surface is called the incident ray.
Reflected ray: The ray of light which is send back by the mirror is called the reflected ray.
•••••••••• Low of Reflection of light ••••••••••••
First Low of Reflection:—
According to the first low of reflection of light. The incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal ( at the point incident ),all lie on the same plane.
Second Low of Reflection:—
According to the second low of reflection of light.
The angle of reflection is always equal to the angle of incident.
