When light hits a mirror at an angle, it is reflected at an equal but opposite angle. The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray, or the ray striking the mirror, and the normal line perpendicular to the mirror's surface. The angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray, or the ray bouncing off the mirror, and the normal line. The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.

When a ray of light strikes a mirror at an angle, the ray is reflected at
an angle, in another direction. The ray that strikes the mirror is
called the incident ray. The ray that is reflected by the mirror is called the reflected ray. The angle between the ray of light that strikes the surface and the normal is called the angle of incidence. The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is called the angle of reflection. The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. The reflected ray, the incident ray, and the normal are all in the same plane. Although light is traveling in three dimensions, the reflection of light is planar (two- dimensional). a light ray that strikes perpendicularly to the surface of the mirror is reflected directly back. A perpendicular line has an angle of 90 degrees to the surface and is called the normal. Types of reflection
• specular reflection reflection off smooth surfaces such as a mirror,
and water on a calm lake
• Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light or other waves or
particles from a surface such that a ray incident on the surface is scattered at many angles 1-2 two types of reflection 3.What is the ray that is reflected by the mirror is 4.What is the ray that strikes the mirror 5.The angle between the ray of light that strikes the surface and the normal 6.
