Study Notes
Law of Reflection
- Describes the behavior of light when it encounters a reflective surface.
- States that the angle at which light strikes (angle of incidence) equals the angle at which it rebounds (angle of reflection).
Angle of Incidence
- Defined as the angle between the incoming light ray and the normal (a perpendicular line) to the surface at the point of contact.
- A critical factor in determining how light interacts with reflective surfaces.
Angle of Reflection
- Defined as the angle between the reflected light ray and the normal at the surface.
- Always equal to the angle of incidence according to the Law of Reflection.
