Open in App

Solution

Reflected ray:
A reflected ray is a ray of light or another form of radiant energy that is reflected back from a nonpermeable or nonabsorbing surface.
The incident ray is the ray that strikes the surface before reflection.
The ray that represents the light reflected by the surface is the reflected ray that corresponds to a given incident ray.

If incident ray strikes an object than it get reflected and form reflected ray(1) than the reflected ray strikes an object and get reflected and form reflected ray(2)
Than what is reflected ray(1) called
If it is reflected ray than it strikes an object so if ray strikes an object it is called incident ray. If it is incident ray it than this ray than ray got reflected from incident ray(1) it should becalled reflected ray
what is this ray called.? justify your answer.
