Question
A light ray strikes a mirror at an angle of 38° to the normal. What is the angle that the reflected angle makes with the normal?385290
Solution
The angle that the reflected ray makes with the normal is also 38°. This is due to the law of reflection which states that the angle of incidence (the angle the incoming ray makes with the normal) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle the outgoing ray makes with the normal).
