What is 0 degree incidence?
when a ray of light falls normally ie. perpendicular to the refracting or reflecting ,the the angle of incidence is zero(angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal at the point of incidence) A ray with 0 angle of incidence doesnot suffer any change on refraction and goes straight into the second medium.
What is the angle of incidence if the angle of reflection is 15 degrees?
If the ray is incident at right angles to the reflection surface, angle of Incidence will be 90 degrees and so will be the angle of reflection. In such a case, the incident ray, the normal and the reflected ray coincide.
Why are the two periods of maximum solar radiation at the equator?
Because that's where the solar rays hit the earth at a 90 degree angle. And the earths rotation on a tilt causes the Solstice and Equinox.
When an electromagnetic wave meets a reflecting surface the direction taken by the reflected wave in determined by?
the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
Why ray does not refract when it passes through optical centre?
It does. But when the ray arrives perpendicular to the boundary, the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction are both zero, so its direction doesn't change.
Does the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection change as the angle of incidence increases?
no
How are the suns rays different at the equator compared to the poles?
Only in the angle of incidence.
Is the equator were the sun is parallel to the earth?
The equator is where the sun is perpendicular (at a 90o angle, not parallel) to the earth at the vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox, the two times during the year when day and night are of equal duration.
The angle of reflection is equal to the .......?
The angle of incidence
What is 0 degree incidence?
when a ray of light falls normally ie. perpendicular to the refracting or reflecting ,the the angle of incidence is zero(angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal at the point of incidence) A ray with 0 angle of incidence doesnot suffer any change on refraction and goes straight into the second medium.
What is the size of the angle of incidence and reflection?
Angle of incidence can be anything. Angle of reflection is the same as angle of incidence.
What happens to the angle of incidence from air to glass?
The angle of incidence does not change. I think you want to know the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of transmission. In the case of from air to glas, the transmission angle is smaller than the angle of incidence due to a higher index of refraction of glass than that of air. Look up Snell's Law for better understanding.
When is angle of incidence equal to angle of reflection?
The angle of incidence is ALWAYS equal to the angle of reflection! This is one of the laws of reflection.
When angle of incidence is equal to angle of refraction?
The second angle of incidence is equal to the angle of refractions.
What is the difference of angle of incidence ad the angle of reflection?
0(zero) Angle of incidence = angle of reflection
Why is it necessary for the angle of refraction to be equal to the angle of incidence when the angle of incidence is zero?
when the angle of refraction is zero you still need an angle of incidence because it still reflects back.
How does a waves change direction when it bounces off a surface?
the answer is simple its the angle of incidence always equals the angle of reflection
