A light ray is an incident on a reflecting surface. If the light ray makes a 30° angle with respect to the normal to the surface, what is the exact angle (in degrees) made by the reflected ray relative to the normal?

The angle of incidence of a light beam in air onto a reflecting surface is continuously variable. The reflected ray is found to be completely polarized when the angle of incidence is 48.0°. (a) What is the index of refraction of the reflecting material? (b) If some of the incident light (at an angle of 48.0°) passes into the material below the surface, what is the angle of refraction?

how is the angle of incidence related to the angle of reflection for a ray of light incident & reflected from a smooth surface?

Laser light traveling inside a slab of glass of index ofrefraction1.50 is incident on the surface with an angle ofincidence of60(degrees), as shown on the right.


a. sketch the reflected ray(if there is one), calculate the angleofreflection, and mark the angle of incidence and the angle ofreflection on the diagram.

b. sketch the refracted ray(if there is one), and mark the angleofrefraction on the diagram.

c. if either the reflected or refracted ray is missing,explainwhy.
