Question
When light falls on the surface of an object, it gets _____.
- Reflected
- Transmitted
- Absorbed
- All of the above
Hint:
We are told not to wear black clothes in summer. The common phenomenon of reflection happens every day. This is the reason we are able to see objects.
The correct answer is: All of the above
- When a ray of light approaches a smooth and polished surface and bounces/ transmitted off it, it is called a light reflection. A ray incident on a surface is reflected by the surface. A reflected ray is called a reflected ray.
- All light that hits an object may be captured or absorbed by the object. The light must interact with the surface and not escape. Therefore, the light reflected from the object is invisible and the object is said to be black.

An incident ray goes along the reflecting surface. The angle of reflection is ____ degrees.
When the angle along the reflecting surface , the incident ray is perpendicular to the reflecting surface. We know by the first law of reflection that angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection . Here, the angle of incidence is 90 degrees so the angle of reflection will also be 90 degrees.
