Answer:

The opposite direction of the incident ray and at an angle θ with respect to the normal

Step-by-step explanation:

A reflected wave travels back through the same medium, and the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.

Angle of reflection = θ [ As it is equal to angle of incidence ]

Direction of reflected ray is always opposite to direction of incident ray, i.e., away from the surface of mirror.

Hope this helps!
