Question 61 Mark
Define the following when reflection takes place from the surface of a plane mirror : (a) incident ray
Answer
A ray of light that falls on any surface is called as an incident ray. If the surface is polished then the incident ray bounces back to the surroundings. This is called as reflected ray.
