Differentiate between Incident ray and reflected ray:
Incident ray | Reflected ray: |
1- An incident rayis a ray of light that strikes a surface. | 1- The reflected ray, corresponding to a given incident ray, is the ray that represents the light reflected by the surface ray corresponding |
2- The angle between this ray and the perpendicular normal to the surface is the angle of incidence or normal to | 2- The angle between the surface normal and the reflected ray is known as the angle of reflection. |
3- The incident ray is always directed towards the surface. | 3- The reflected ray is always directed away from the surface. |
