5. A ray of light leaves a reflective surface at 55° to the surface. Draw a ray diagram showing the incident ray, reflected ray and surface normal. Calculate the angles of incidence and reflection and fill them in on your diagram. 6. In the diagram, a ray of light strikes the interface between two media. Draw what the refracted ray would look like if: normal (a) medium 1 had a higher refractive index than medium 2. (b) medium 1 had a lower refractive index than medium 2. Medium 1 Medium 2

Applications Of Reflection Of Light
When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.
Sign Convention for Mirrors
A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.
