Question

1. If a light beam is incident onto a plan mirror and makes an angle of 30 degrees with the mirror, what is the angle at which the beam is reflected from the mirror?

2. If a beam is incident normal (perperndicular to the surface) to a plane mirror, what is the angle of relection?

3. Name some tip-offs that your mind recognizes when viewing a reflection that tells it that it truly is a reflection.

4. When a beam of light enters a body of water from the air at an angle through a level surface, does it bend toward or away from the normal line in the water?

5. Name some tip-offs that your mind recognizes when viewing a refracted image that tells it that it truly is a refraction.

Explanation / Answer


1)

from law of reflection , the reflected angle is equal incident angle is


2)


the angle of reflection is normal to the surface


the angle = 0 degrees

3)

the images seen in the mirror


4)

when the light enters from rarer(air) to denser (water) medium

the light ray bend towards the normal

5)

a pencil submerged in a glass half-filled with water,

the image of the pencil appears to be broken
