Solution

The correct option is C
$a n g l e o f i n c i d e n c e$

According to the $1^{s t}$ law of reflection: When light rays fall on a smooth surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.
This law holds true for all types of mirrors.
Hence, the correct answer is option (C) i.e. $a n g l e o f i n c i d e n c e$

A ray of light incident at the pole of a spherical mirror is reflected along a path, making the same angle with the principal axis, as the incident ray does.

State the direction of incident ray which after reflection from a spherical mirror gets reflected along its own path. Give a reason.

Q. A light ray incident obliquely to the principal axis towards the pole of a mirror is reflected at an angle equal to the angle of incidence.

Q. If the incident ray strikes the pole of a spherical mirror at an angle
