reflection mirror

Cards (5)

  • reflection is the bouncing back of light into the same medium it has been travelling after striking a surface
  • why do these mirror behave differently?

    its because of the law of reflection
  • the law of reflection:
    1. incident ray, reflected ray and normal line lie on the same plane surface
    2. the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
  • regular reflection is defined as light reflected from a smooth surface at a definite angle and is always reflected in the same direction
  • diffused reflection is produced by a rough surface that tend to reflect light in all direction
