Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
The laws of reflection are:
The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the reflection surface at the point of the incidence, all lie in the same plane.
The angle which the incident ray makes with the normal called the angle of incidence is equal to the angle which the reflected ray makes with the normal called the angle of reflection.
$∠ i = ∠ r$

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION C.

Which of the statements refer to the laws of reflection?

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.

Q. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct for reflection of light?

Statement 1: Angle of incidence is greater than the angle of reflection.

Statement 2: Angle of incidence is less than the angle of reflection.

Statement 3: Angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Statement 4: The incident ray, the normal at point of incidence and the reflected ray all lie in the same plane.

The angle of incidence and angle of reflection are equal only if the incident ray and the reflected ray are in the same plane and the normal is in a different plane.

Q. Does reflection of sound also undergoes the laws of reflection.
Laws of reflection state s that incident ray normalray reflected ray and emergent ray will lie in a same plane ,2. Incident ray is equal to reflected ray.and this is true in reflection of light .is it relative to reflection of sound?
