Reflection

Cards (5)

  • Waves can be reflected at the boundary between two different materials
  • Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
  • The normal line is always perpendicular to the surface
    A) Incident ray
    B) Angle of incidence
    C) Normal
    D) Angle of reflection
    E) Reflected ray
    F) Mirror
  • Specular reflection happens when a wave is reflected in a single direction by a smooth surface
  • Diffuse reflection happens when the reflected rays are scattered in lots of different direction
