Question

According to the law of reflection, what is the angle of incidence?

It is the angle the incident ray makes with a line drawn perpendicular to the viewer.

It is the angle the incident ray makes with a line drawn perpendicular to the reflecting surface.

It is the angle the incident ray makes with a line drawn parallel to the reflecting surface.

Answer 1

the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection,

Explanation:

Important Information. When light is reflected from a surface, the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection, where both angles are measured from the path of the light to the normal to the surface at the point at which light strikes the surface. This equality is known as the law of reflection.

Answer 2

It is the angle the incident ray makes with a line drawn perpendicular to the reflecting surface
