A flashlight is shone on a mirror. As you move the flashlight to increase the angle of incidence of the light on the mirror, the angle of the reflection also changes. How does the angle of reflection change?

Answer:

the angle of reflection also increases

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because the law of reflection states that the angle of incidence equals to the angle of reflection, thus, if the angle of incidence increases, angle of reflection should also increase, basically , think as if the angle of incidence is the same thing as the angle of reflection

hope this helps, if not please report it someone else can try it
