Rays and Path of Light Waves
Light waves are electric waves, thy travel from their source in all directions. Since the light waves travel in a straight line you could use an arrow called a ray to show the path the light wave travels.
Rays And Reflected And Refracted
Rays help show the path of a light wave after it bounces or bends. Light waves that bounce off an object are called reflected rays! Light waves that are bent when traveling from one medium to another are refracted by it. Ray and rays in diagrams show the many changes in the direction being refracted by the lenses!
Mirrrors And Reflection of Light
The shape of a light always affects the way the light reflects from it! It differs from the bathroom mirror and the reflection you see in the spoon. Mirrors are classified by their shape and the way they reflect the image.
Plane Mirrors
They are mirrors with flat surfaces, When you look in a plane mirror your reflection is right side up and the image is also the same size as you! The images are also reversed from left to right.
