Explain reflection of a plane wave by a plane surface. |
Answer» Solution : Let 'v' be the SPEED of wave in the medium , `tau` be the TIME taken by the wavefront to move from the point B to C. `BC=t tau` Let AE be the radius of an arc drawn at E and EC be the tangent drawn at E. `AE=BC=v tau` The triangles AEC and CBA are congruent and therefore `OVERSET(^)(i)=overset(^)(r )` Hence the LAW of reflection is proved. |
