When watching the Moon over the ocean, you often see a long streak of light on the surface of the water. This occurs because (choose the best answer)   the Moon is very large.   The atmospheric conditions are just right.   The ocean is calm   The ocean is wavey   Cool ocean air causes a mirage.

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.
