Deflection (physics)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics deflection is the event where an object collides and bounces against a plane surface.
In such collisions involving a sphere and a plane, the collision angle formed with the surface normal (the incidental angle α) must equal the bounce angle (the accidental angle β), α = β
Magnetic deflection refers to Lorentz forces acting upon a charged particle moving in a magnetic field.
