Solution
Incident ray:
An incident ray is a ray of light that strikes a surface. The angle between this ray and the perpendicular or normal to the surface is the angle of incidence.
Reflected ray:
The reflected ray corresponding to a given incident ray is the ray that represents the light reflected by the surface. The angle between the surface normal and the reflected ray is known as the angle of reflection.
