Question

If a reflected ray is 55 degrees from the normal line, they what is the angle of the

incident ray from normal?

Answer 1

xplanation:

Angle of reflection is measured between the incident ray and the angle which it makes with the normal at the point where incident ray strikes the mirror surface.

Further on reflection, it makes the same angle i.e. angle of reflection is equal to angle of reflection.

Hence, as angle of incidence is 55∘ angle of reflection too is 55∘ and the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray is 55∘+55∘=110∘
