I'm in physics, but I think the answer is 22. The angle of reflection is reflecting whatever the angle was so, in this case, it must be 22

Answer:The angle reflection will be 22 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection: The bouncing back of light rays from the shiny surface is termed as reflection.

Laws of reflection:

  • Incident ray , reflected ray and normal drawn perpendicularly to the surface of the shiny surface all lie in the same plane.
  • Angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

So, if the angle of an incidence is 22 degrees than the angle of reflection will also be the same as 22 degrees.
