How many laws do reflection of light follow and what are they? There are two laws of reflection. They are – 1) First Law: The reflection ray will be in the plane which we imagined through the incident ray and the normal. 2) Second Law: The reflected angle is equal to the incident angle.
Dispersed reflection depends on which things? Dispersed reflection depends on following things: 1) Incident light rays need to be parallel. 2) Reflection plane needs to be unsmooth/rough. 3) Incident angles vary with incident points.
Though the moon is white in daylight, how does it look like at night after sunset? Explain. The dispersed light blue colour of the sky is mixed with the moon’s light at day. These two colour’s mixture makes the moon looks white. After sunset, the light blue colour disappears, so it looks like yellowish at … Read more
Shortly explain the nature of light. Light is an energy, that propagates as an electromagnetic wave. It sometimes acts as a wave, sometimes acts as a particle. In a particular medium, it has a particular velocity, in the air, this velocity is 3⨯108 ms-1. It goes linearly in a transparent medium. It faces reflection, refraction, diffraction, … Read more
