What would be the angle between the ruler and its image if the angle between a horizontal ruler and a vertical plane mirror is 30?
30
What is the estimated angle between 270 and 360?
It is a reflex angle because it is greater than 180 degrees.
What is the quadrants angle of 195?
195 is greater than 180, but less than 270 so it is in quad 3
The measure of an angle is 28 dgrees greater than its complement find the measure of each angle?
Suppose the angle is x. Then its complement is 90-x. So x = (90-x) + 28 = 118 - x So 2x = 118 and x = 59 (with complement 31).
The given angle is 1291 degrees what terminal quadrant does it lie in?
3rd quadrant. The four 90 degree quadrants together formed 360 degrees. When a given angle is greater than 360 degrees, subtract 360 from it till a value smaller than 360 is obtained. In this way, we can determine the quadrant in which the given angle lies. Here the final angle obtained is 211 degrees (1291-3x360=211).
What is the relation ship between angle of incidence and angle of reflection in a plane mirror?
The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection in a plane mirror. This is known as the law of reflection, which states that the angle at which a light ray hits a mirror is equal to the angle at which it bounces off the mirror.
Laws of reflection by a plane mirror?
angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.
In plane mirror the angle of incidence equals the angle of?
reflection.
What is the angle of incidence if a reflected wave bounces off a mirror with an angle of reflection equal to 55º?
If a light ray is reflected from a flat mirror with a reflection angle of 55o then the angle of incidence was also 55o. When reflecting from a mirrored surface, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
What happens when normal incidence strikes mirror?
When light with normal incidence strikes a mirror, it reflects back at the same angle in the opposite direction. This is known as specular reflection, where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
What are value of angle of incidence and angle of reflection for normal incidence of light on mirror?
The angle of incidence is 0 degrees for normal incidence, meaning the light ray hits the mirror perpendicularly. The angle of reflection is also 0 degrees, as the reflected ray will be in the same direction as the incident ray.
What happens to a ray of light as it enters and leaves a mirror?
When a ray of light enters a mirror, it undergoes reflection, where it bounces off the mirror surface. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. When the ray of light leaves the mirror, it continues to follow the same rule of reflection, keeping the angle of incidence equal to the angle of reflection.
True or false- the angle of incidence is always greater than the reflection angle?
False .According to laws of reflection, the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection.
A ray of light strikes a plane mirror such that angle with the mirror is 30 degreewhat is the angle of reflection?
30 degrees as the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
What do you notice about the way the rays are reflected at the surface of the mirror?
The angle of incidence (incoming ray) is equal to the angle of reflection (outgoing ray) at the surface of the mirror. This reflection obeys the law of reflection, where the angle of incidence is measured from the normal (perpendicular line) to the mirror surface.
Is the angle of incidence less than the angle of reflection on a plane mirror?
they are equal
Does the angle of incidence equal the angle of reflection when a straight light ray hits a straight mirror?
Yes, the angle of incidence always equals the angle of reflection when a straight ray of light hits a mirror that isn't bent.
