Solution

In case of reflection, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. On the other hand, in case of refraction, the angle of refraction is not equal to the angle of incidence.

How is the reflection of light ray from a plane mirror different from the refraction of light ray as it enters a block of glass ?

Q. A light ray that enters a glass block from the air is refracted because:

A ray of light is incident normally (perpendicularly) on a plane mirror. Where will this ray of light go after reflection from the mirror?

Q. When light is incident on a glass block at polarizing angle
a) reflected ray is plane polarized
b) reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular
c) reflected and refracted rays are partially polarized
d) refracted ray is partially polarised

A ray of light after reflection from a mirror is known as
