Here are some cool facts about bullet ricochets:
‘the angle of incidence is critical in determining the angle of reflection. This phenomenon is described by the “angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence” principle, which means that the angle at which a bullet strikes a surface and the angle at which it bounces off that surface are roughly equal.
This principle is similar to the law of reflection for light, where the angle at which light hits a mirror is equal to the angle at which it reflects off the mirror’s surface. It’s a fundamental concept in physics that applies not only to bullets but also to various forms of wave behavior, including sound and electromagnetic waves.
Understanding this principle is essential for marksmen and military personnel, as it helps predict how bullets might behave when fired near surfaces, aiding in accuracy and safety considerations during firearm use.’
