Questions and Answers

What is the law of reflection?

  • The angle at which the wave is incident on the surface depends on the medium
  • The angle at which the wave is incident on the surface equals the angle at which it is reflected (correct)
  • The angle at which the wave is incident on the surface is always 90 degrees
  • The angle at which the wave is incident on the surface is double the angle at which it is reflected

Study Notes

The Law of Reflection

  • The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Types of Reflection

  • Specular reflection occurs when a mirror provides a model for light reflection, resulting in a clear and undistorted image.

Acoustics and Reflection

  • In acoustics, reflection causes echoes.

Surface Waves in Bodies of Water

  • With surface waves in bodies of water, total reflection is observed, where the wave is completely reflected off the surface.

Grazing Mirrors

  • X-rays can be reflected at shallow angles with special 'grazing' mirrors, allowing for the manipulation of X-ray beams.
