Solution

  1. Normal -The normal is a line drawn at the right angle (perpendicular) to the mirror surface at the point of incidence.
  2. Incident ray-The ray of light that falls on the mirror's reflecting surface is called the incident ray. The incident ray always goes towards the mirror.
  3. Angle of incidence-The angle which the incidence ray makes with the normal at the point of incidence is called the angle of incidence.

Hence, the angle formed between the incident ray and the normal is called the angle of incidence.
