What are the values of angle of incidence, angle of reflection for normal incidence on a plane mirror surface

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student,

For normal incidence, i.e the incident ray is perpendicular to the surface, the reflected ray will retrace its path, thus angle of incidence=angle of reflection=zero degree.

Regards.
