A ray incident on a plane mirror is reflected in a direction such that the angle between the incident and the reflected ray is . What are the angles of incidence and reflection

Observe the given figure and name the incident ray.

The angle between the normal and the_____is called the angle of reflection.


Is there a relation between angle of incidence and angle of reflection? Explain.

Explain the term plane of reflection.

The normal line divides the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray into two equal angles.

What does normal line to the mirror means?

State the laws of reflection. Describe an experimental method to verify the laws of reflection of light.

Two plane mirrors are aligned parallel to each other, as shown in the figure. A light ray is incident at an angle of 30° at a point just inside one end of a mirror. The maximum number of times the ray undergoes reflection. before it emerges out is
