Question

The ray of light that bounces off the mirror is called _______ (incident ray/ reflected ray)

Answer 1

Two types of rays in reflection

1. The ray of a light incident of reflecting surface is called an incident ray.
2. The ray of light that bounces off the mirror is called a reflected ray.

Relation between the angle of reflection and angle of incidence

1. Angle of the reflected ray is equal to the angle of the incident ray

Hence the correct answer is reflected ray.
