Reflection of Light
Note: Both the angle of incident and angle of reflection must be measured from the normal.
Laws of Reflection
- The law of reflection state that
- The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection; the ray leaves the surface at the same angle as it arrives.
- The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal all lie in the same plane; all three could be drawn on the same flat piece of paper
