What is An Incident Ray?

Answer:

  1. The light energy that allows us to see the objects that pass through a straight line is known as a ray of light—the reflection of light returns the beam that falls on the object’s surface.
  2. An incident ray is a beam of light that hits the surface by separating the two mediums through emission. It is a rectilinear light ray.
  3. The incident ray is either refracted or reflected to form an image. The angle between the incident ray is perpendicular to the surface of the angle of incidence.
  4. The angle of incidence is the inclination between the incident ray and the line perpendicular to the point of incidence.
