3

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

90°

focal point

refractive index

angle of incidence


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.


4

45% Answer Correctly

protists

animals

fungi
