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.

How can you tell the difference on a ray diagram? How could you tell the difference between a virtual image and a real image experimentally?
A ray of light is passed through a ruby and it hits a surface in contact with air (n = 1.000) at an angle of 45° with respect to the normal. Use the table below to determine happens when it hits the surface? What is the critical angle? The ray refracts into the air at an angle of 45° with respect to the normal. The ray reflects back into the ruby at an angle of 45° with respect to the normal. The ray refracts at an angle of 90° with respect to the normal, along the surface. The ray is absorbed in the air. None of the above.
