Question

Explain the laws of reflection.
question from phy/chem

Answer 1

The law of reflection states that when a ray of light reflects off a surface, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Answer 2

The phenomenon of bouncing back of the light in the same medium and it is incident on a surface or strikes any surface is called reflection of light.

There are three laws of reflection:

• the angle of reflection (r) is equal to the angle of incidence (i) [<r = <i]
• the incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal lie on the same plane.
• the incident ray and the reflected ray are on the opposite sides of the normal.
• Which looks somewhat like \|/
