A
when light hits a smooth surface and bounces back in a predictable direction
2
Q
Law of Reflection
A
the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
3
Q
What is the angle of incidence
A
the angle between a ray of light and the normal
4
Q
What is the angle of reflection
A
the angle made by a reflected ray with a perpendicular to the reflecting surface
5
