Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

	1 mL
	1 cL
	1 kL
	1 ML

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

	angle of incidence
	refractive index
	focal point
	90°

Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
