This is the angle at which light leaves or bounces off of a surface relative to the normal, or an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface. The law of reflection states that this angle is equal to the angle of incidence.

Answer:

The angle which the light leaves or bounces off a surface is angle of reflection.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to laws of reflection we have


\angle i = \angle r

Here
\angle i is the angle of reflection . This is the angle made by the incident ray of light with the normal .

Normal is the line perpendicular to the surface and passing through the point of contact between incident ray and the surface .

Here
\angle r is the angle of reflection . This is the angle made by reflected ray with the normal .
