The law of reflection is valid for any ray of light. So it is also valid for curved and flat surfaces. For curved surfaces, the normal is taken as the normal to the tangent of the point where the light ray hits the surface.
The four principal rays of a curved mirror are: the ray parallel to the principal axis that reflects through the focal point after reflection, the ray that passes through the focal point before reflection and becomes parallel to the principal axis after reflection, the ray that passes through the center of curvature and reflects back along the same path, and the ray that strikes the mirror at the center of curvature, reflecting back along the same path.
To construct a ray diagram in curved mirrors, you need to draw the principal axis, mark the focal point and center of curvature, then draw incident rays parallel to the principal axis, as well as through the focal point or center of curvature. The point where the rays intersect after reflection will give you the image position and characteristics. Remember that for concave mirrors, the rays converge, while for convex mirrors, they diverge.
A flat piece of glass does not bring light to a focus because it does not bend or refract the light rays. A curved piece of glass, however, can bring light to a focus by bending the light rays as they pass through, converging them to a point. This bending or refraction occurs due to the curved surface of the glass, which changes the direction of the light rays.
Cathode rays are negatively charged particles that move in curved paths in the presence of a magnetic field. The direction and curvature of the cathode rays can be controlled by adjusting the strength and orientation of the magnetic field. This phenomenon is known as the magnetic deflection of cathode rays and is used in devices like cathode ray tubes.
my daughter's (14 years) longer bone of the forearm is curved in the x-ray and she is in pain.

Whatever the shape of the mirror the angle of reflection equals the angle if incidence of the ray at the point where the ray hits.

The direct rays of the sun are rays from the sun that hit a certain area.

A mild convex right thoracic scoliosis is when the spine is curved toward the right. It can be seen on an x-ray of the spine.
Yes, the incident ray will bend when it enters a curved plastic container due to refraction. The bending of the ray occurs because light travels at different speeds in different materials, causing the ray to change direction as it enters the container.
RAY EQUATION is the equation of a light ray moving in a non-homogeneus medium. We know that when light passes from a medium to another with different refractive index, it changes direction. If the refractive index changes continuously, the light ray will no longer be a straight line. It will be generally curved. The equation of this curve is given by the RAY EQUATION.
