Reflection is the ........ of light off a surface.
Reflection is the bouncing of light off a surface.
Suppose you have a plane mirror that reflects light. When light strikes the mirror, the light is reflected off the surface. The law of reflection says that:
Statement 1: The angle of incidence (incoming ray) is equal to the angle of reflection (outgoing ray).
Statement 2: The angle is measured from a perpendicular line to the surface called as Normal.
Statement 3: Incident ray, reflected ray and the normal does not lie in the same plane.
Statement 4: The law works for the plane as well as for curved surfaces.
