Answer 1

When a light ray hits an object, the light reflects and the ray reflected is called reflected ray. But When that reflected ray hits another object the ray is incident ray with respect 2nd object and is reflected ray with respect to 1st object. Because in optics the reflected or incident ray is decided with respect to an object for a multiple object system.
