reflection of light Flashcards
1
Q
reflection
A
the phenomenon of bouncing back of light into the same transparent medium after hitting an opaque surface is known as reflection of light
2
Q
laws of reflection
A
- angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection
- the incident ray, reflected ray and the normal at the point incidence, all three lie in same plane

Q
what is g (angle of glancing)- same diagram as from laws of reflection
A
g is the angle made by angle of incidence/reflection with the mirror OR 90 degrees minus angle of incidence or reflection
