what is incident rays
Answers
Given:-
what is incident rays?
Answer:-
The given terms are the terms that are used in the ray optics. Incident ray is the ray that strikes the surface whereas reflected ray is the ray that bounces back from the surface. The angle made by the incident ray and reflected ray with the normal are known as angle of incidence and angle of reflection.
Explain:-
An incident ray is a ray of light that strikes a surface. The angle between this ray and the perpendicular or normal to the surface is the angle of incidence. The reflected ray corresponding to a given incident ray, is the ray that represents the light reflected by the surface.
Example:-
Your kitchen light being on is incident upon you flipping the switch. And conversely, if you throw a ball onto a surface, that ball is incident upon the surface. You threw it and that led to it hitting the surface. This last usage is the one that is meant by incident ray.
Short Answer:-
Incident ray - the ray of light falling on the surface AB is called the incident ray. Reflected ray - the incident ray bouncing back in the same medium after striking the reflecting surface is called reflected ray. Angle of incidence - the angle form between the incident ray and the normal is the angle of incidence.
Answer:
incident rays are those rays which falls on the mirror and reflected rays are those who bouce back or reflects back from the mirror. In between these two rays there is a imaginary line called normal. the two angles formed by incident ray, normal and the reflected ray are always equal. You can take help of the given diagram.
thank you :-)
