Question

WHAT IS REFLECTOIN ?AND EXPLAIN TH LAWW OF REFL- CTION.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Laws of Reflection and Refraction

Popularly known as SNELL'S LAW it is n1*sin i=n2*sin e where i is same as above,e is angle of refracted beam with normal. The INCIDENT ray,REFLECTED ray, REFRACTED ray and the NORMAL at the point of incidence all lie in the same plane. The plane is referred as plane of incidence.

Answer 2

Answer:

Whenever we look into a mirror, or squint at sunlight glinting from a lake, we are seeing a reflection. When you look at this page, too, you are seeing light reflected from it. Large telescopes use reflection to form an image of stars and other astronomical objects.

A light ray is incident on a smooth surface and is falling obliquely, making an angle theta i relative to a perpendicular line drawn to the surface at the point where the incident ray strikes. The light ray gets reflected making an angle theta r with the same perpendicular drawn to the surface.

Figure 1. The law of reflection states that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence—θr = θi. The angles are measured relative to the perpendicular to the surface at the point where the ray strikes the surface.

The law of reflection is illustrated in Figure 1, which also shows how the angles are measured relative to the perpendicular to the surface at the point where the light ray strikes. We expect to see reflections from smooth surfaces, but Figure 2 illustrates how a rough surface reflects light. Since the light strikes different parts of the surface at different angles, it is reflected in many different directions, or diffused. Diffused light is what allows us to see a sheet of paper from any angle, as illustrated in Figure 3. Many objects, such as people, clothing, leaves, and walls, have rough surfaces and can be seen from all sides. A mirror, on the other hand, has a smooth surface (compared with the wavelength of light) and reflects light at specific angles, as illustrated in Figure 4. When the moon reflects from a lake, as shown in Figure 5, a combination of these effects takes place.
