How does light behave when it strikes a smooth surface?
It is reflected at the same angle to the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface.they break
A incoming beam of light strikes a mirror at an angle and reflects. what appears of the angle of the reflected beam?
The angle of approach and the reflected angle is always the same.
What happen to light rays as it strikes a smooth and shiny surface liike mirror?
The light rays gets reflected in the same angle. Angle between normal and the incident ray is called angle of incident and angle between normal and reflected ray is called angle of relection. Normal is an imagenary perpendicular line on the reflecting surface. Angle of incidence is alway equal to angle of reflection.
As a ray of light passes from air into glass the angle it makes with the surface normal will?
REFLECTION... (this is the right answer for: A ray of light strikes a flat surface of water. The angle that the reflected light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of? )if not incident ray.
What is an angle of reflection?
Draw a perpendicular from the point where the incident ray is reflected and the angle between the perpendicular and reflected ray is the angle of reflection.

How much light is reflected and transmitted when light strikes at a perpendicular to a surface?
Only about 4% is reflected, the rest is transmitted. 3. (29.1) When light strikes perpendicular to the surface of a pane of glass, how much light is reflected and how much is transmitted? Normal to the surface refers to a line that is drawn perpendicular to the surface (90°).
A incoming beam of light strikes a mirror at an angle and reflects. what appears of the angle of the reflected beam?
The angle of approach and the reflected angle is always the same.

What is the angle between the normal and the surface of a mirror?
The angle between the normal and the surface of anything is by definition always 90 degrees, regardless of whether it is a mirror, a piece of concrete, a wooden plank, etc.
What happens when light strikes a smooth surface?
When light bounces off something, it is reflected.
What general statement can you make about the relationship between the angle at which light strikes a mirror and the angle at which is reflected?
the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
What is an angle of reflection?
Draw a perpendicular from the point where the incident ray is reflected and the angle between the perpendicular and reflected ray is the angle of reflection.
How does light reflected?
Light can be reflected because it bounces off a surface at an angle.
What happens when a ray of light strikes a flat water surface?
Whenever light hits a water surface, some of the light is reflected off, and some of it is refracted, or "bent", deeper into the water. The proportion that is reflected and refracted depends on the wavelength of the light and the angle of incidence. When light goes straight down into the water, most of it penetrates the surface and goes into the water. When the light impacts at an angle, more of the light is reflected away.
What happens it light when it strikes in plane mirror?
It is reflected at the same angle it hit the mirror at
