...Caustic Curves, the rays of light being regarded as parallel, and the law of reflexion of light being that the incident and reflected rays make equal angles with the normal, at the point of incidence. For a detailed investigation of these curves, see the Analysis of the Marquis... | |

...SB, parallel to KT, and B, its intersection with the plane TP, will evidently be the point at which the incident and reflected rays make equal angles with the normal to the plane. Hence B is the brilliant point required. Remarks.—a. Observe, that as NT is normal to the... | |

...plane with the incident ray, and the normal to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence, and that the incident and reflected rays make equal angles with the normal. That radiant heat is thus reflected on arriving at the surface of separation of two media, may be proved... | |

...irregularities in the surface, but are governed by the same law as holds for regular reflection. This law is: the incident and reflected rays make equal angles with the normal to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence, and are coplanar with the normal. This is equivalent... | |

...2. Regular Reflection.—A ray incident on a smooth surface is partly transmitted, partly reflected; the incident and reflected rays make equal angles with the normal to the surface (see diagrams, fig. 1). The intensity of the reflected ray increases rapidly with the angle... | |

...When light is reflected from a smooth surface, it obeys the well-known law of reflection, which states that the incident and reflected rays make equal angles with the normal to the surface and that both rays and the normal lie in one plane. When light is transmitted, the ray direction... | |
