When light reflects off an object, what is the relation between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?

Angle of incidence is the angle when the light strikes an object while angle of reflection is the angle produced when the light strikes off/reflects from the object.

The relation between these two is that both the angles are equal.

The law of reflection states that when a ray of light reflects off a surface, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Hope this helps!
