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

  1. Incident ray
  2. Reflected ray
  3. Normal
  4. Angle of incidence
  5. 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:-

 < i =   < r

One more thing :-

The laws of reflection of light apply to all kinds of mirrors, plane mirrors as well as spericals mirrors.
