Hey mate
Laws of reflection of light
Proper Question :-
What are the laws of reflection of light ?
Answer:-
There are two laws of reflection of light
Before we go,
We should know some terms that is
- Incident ray
- Reflected ray
- Normal
- Angle of incidence
- Angle of reflection
So,
- 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 sent back by the mirror is called reflected ray.
- Normal :- The normal is a line at right angle to the mirror surface at the point of incidence.
- Angle of incidence :- The angle of incident is the angle made by the incident ray with the normal at the point of incidence.
- Angle of reflection :- The angle of reflection is the angle made by the reflected ray with the normal at the point of incidence.
Laws of reflection of light
First law of reflection
:-
The incident ray , reflected ray, and the normal , all lie on the same plane
Second law of reflection
:-
According to second law of reflection of light it states that, the angle of reflection is always equal to the angle of incidence.
If the angle of incidence is i and the angle of reflection is r, then according to second law of reflection:-
One more thing :-
The laws of reflection of light apply to all kinds of mirrors, plane mirrors as well as spericals mirrors.
