Maharashtra Board Solutions for Chapter: Reflection of Light, Exercise 2: Exercises

The reflection of light from a wooden surface is_____(regular/ diffused) reflection.

Explain the difference between regular and irregular reflection of light.

Draw a figure showing the following.-

a. Incident Ray 
b. Normal
c. Angle of incidence
d. Angle of reflection
e. Point of incidence
f. Reflected ray

Study the following incident:
Swara and Yash were looking in a water filled vessel. They could see their images clearly in the still water. At that instant, Yash threw a stone in the water. Now their images were blurred. Swara could not understand the reason for the blurring of the images. Explain the reason for blurring of the images to Swara by answering the following. Is there a relation between the reflection of light and the blurring of the images?

Study the following incident: 
Swara and Yash were looking in a water-filled vessel. They could see their images clearly in the still water. At that instant, Yash threw a stone in the water. Now their images were blurred. Swara could not understand the reason for the blurring of the images. Explain the reason for blurring of the images to Swara by answering the following question - Which types of reflection of light can you notice from this?

Study the following incident:
Swara and Yash were looking in a water filled vessel. They could see their images clearly in the still water. At that instant, Yash threw a stone in the water. Now their images were blurred. Swara could not understand the reason for the blurring of the images. Explain the reason for blurring of the images to Swara by answering the following - Are laws of reflection followed in these types of reflection?

If the angle between the plane mirror and the incident ray is ${40}^0$, what are the angles of incidence and reflection?

If the angle between the mirror and reflected ray is ${23}^0$, what is the angle of incidence of the incident ray?
