Question | Answer |
---|---|
The bouncing back of a particle or wave that strikes a boundary b/t two media | reflection |
a line perpendicular to a surface | normal |
Angle b/t an incident ray and the normal to a surface | Angle of Incidence |
Angle b/t are reflected ray and the normal to the surface | Angle of reflection |
the Angle of Incidence for a wave that srikes a surface is equal to the angle of reflection. This is true for both partially and totally reflected waves. | Law of Reflection |
An image formed through reflection or refraction that can be seen by an observer but cannot be projected on a screen because light from the object does no acutally come to focus. | diffuse reflection |
the reflection of waves in many directions from a rough surface | reverberation |
