4

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

angle of incidence

90°

refractive index

focal point
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.
