Reflection of light (Optics) :-
•Reflection :-
The phenomenon in which the light traveling in a medium ,when made incident on the surface of another medium goes back in the same medium is called reflection .
•Law of reflection :-
The following experiments observation are called laws of reflection.
1. The incident ray, the normal to reflecting surface at the point of incident and reflected ray all lie in same plane.
2. The angle of incidence(i) is always equal to angle of reflection (r).
i=r
•Some definitions:-
• Incident Ray:-
The incident light ray is a narrow light beam which is represented by a straight line, it intersects with the reflecting surface at the point of incidence.
•Reflected Ray:-
The reflected light ray is a narrow light beam which is represented by a straight line that is reflected from the reflected surface at the point of incidence.
•Angle of Incidence :-
The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident light ray and the line perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence.
•Angle of reflection :-
The angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected light ray and line perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence.
•Some important board exam level question answers :-
Q. 1) What is Reflection of light ?
Ans:- The phenomenon in which the light traveling in a medium ,when made incident on the surface of another medium goes back in the same medium is called reflection .
Q. 2) What is the relation between Incidence ray and Reflected ray ?
Ans:- The angle of incidence(i) is always equal to angle of reflection (r).
i=r
Q. 3) Write the law of reflection ?
Ans:- The following experiments observation are called laws of reflection.
1. The incident ray, the normal to reflecting surface at the point of incident and reflected ray all lie in same plane.
2.The angle of incidence(i) is always equal to angle of reflection (r).
