Difference between Angle of incidence (optics) and Normal (geometry)

Angle of incidence (optics) vs. Normal (geometry)

In geometric optics, the angle of incidence is the angle between a ray incident on a surface and the line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence, called the normal. In geometry, a normal is an object such as a line or vector that is perpendicular to a given object.

Similarities between Angle of incidence (optics) and Normal (geometry)

Angle of incidence (optics) and Normal (geometry) have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Computer graphics, Ray (optics), Reflection (physics).

Computer graphics

Computer graphics are pictures and films created using computers.

Ray (optics)

In optics a ray is an idealized model of light, obtained by choosing a line that is perpendicular to the wavefronts of the actual light, and that points in the direction of energy flow.

Reflection (physics)

Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated.

Angle of incidence (optics) and Normal (geometry) Comparison

Angle of incidence (optics) has 22 relations, while Normal (geometry) has 65. As they have in common 3, the Jaccard index is 3.45% = 3 / (22 + 65).
