Solution

The correct option is A is plane

The Law of Reflection A ray of light strikes a plane mirror and light ray reflects off the mirror. Reflection involves a change in direction of the light ray and the angle of the incident light ray is equal to the angle of the reflected light ray. The normal line is to the surface of the mirror that makes a 90 degree angle to the mirror. This line is used as a reference point for all of the angles.

The angle of incidence is the angle that the incident ray makes the normal and the angle of reflected angle that the reflected ray makes with the normal.
