PHYSICS [1 Mark Question Answer]

A plane mirror is a smooth or highly polished surface that reflects light in order to form an image

A real image is formed by the actual intersection of light rays whereas a virtual image is formed by the imaginary intersection of light rays.

The law of reflection states that the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface of the mirror all lie in the same plane. Furthermore, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. A light ray incident upon a reflective surface will be reflected at an angle equal to the incident angle

The bouncing back of light into the same medium after striking a surface is called reflection.

The ray of light that is sent back after reflection by the mirror is called the reflected ray.

A ray of light that falls on any surface is called as an incident ray.

The perpendicular line drawn from, the point of incidence to the plane of reflecting surface is called normal.

The angle between reflected ray and the normal at the point of incidence to a reflecting surface is known as angle of reflection.

The angle formed between the normal and the incident ray at the point of incidence is called the angle of incidence.

In periscope, the mirror surfaces are arranged 45 to each other.

Images in mirrors are formed by diffused reflection.

Regular reflection is caused by the regularities in the reflecting surface.

Real image can be obtained on a screen.

The ray of light after striking the mirror moves in different direction.
