(6 cards)
What happens when waves arrive at an obstacle ?
Their direction change. This can he open by reflection,refraction or diffraction.
What all waves can be ?
Reflected , refracted and diffracted.
Whet does the reflection of light do ?
Allows us to see objects. Light bounces off them into our eyes.
What happens when light is travelling in the same direction reflects from an uneven surface?
When light travelling in the same direction reflects from an even surface such as a piece of paper, the light reflects off at different angles.
What happens when light is travelling in the same direction reflects from an even surface?
When light travelling in the same direction reflects from an even surface (smooth and shiny like a mirror) then it’s all reflected at the same angle and you get a clear reflection.
What is the law of reflection?
Angle of incidence = angle of reflection
