A ray of light is incident towards a plane mirror at an angle of 30-degrees with the mirror surfaceWhat will be the angle of reflection?

The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. It will be at 30o to the surface of the mirror (from the opposite edge)
^ This answer is not correct for SURFACE, but is correct for RELATIVE ^

∙ 15y agoAngle of reflection equals angle of incidence, so the light is reflected at 32 degrees relative to the normal. Since the normal is perpendicular to the surface of the miirror, the angle between the reflected rays and the mirror is 90 degrees minus 32 degrees, or 58 degrees.

How does a laser ranging device work?
This device simply sends out a short pulse of light to the target, and measures the time to the the reflection. Knowing the speed of light, this gives distance. By a slight modification, if the target is moving, then the frequency of the reflected light will be different, due to the Doppler principle. Measuring this frequency change gives the speed at which the target is moving either towards or away. - Our laser speed gun.
Use of convex mirror?
For a wider field of view in the reflection. In the middle of the mirror, the mirror is facing directly towards you. But nearer the edges it is tilted to the side or above and so you can see things that you would have to turn or tilt an ordinary flat mirror to see.
What happens to a ray of light when it travels from a dense medium to a less dense medium?
-- Its speed becomes less in the denser medium. -- Its wavelength becomes greater in the denser medium. -- If its direction is not perpendicular to the boundary between the media, then its path in the denser medium is closer to the perpendicular. (This is 'refraction'.)

What is the change in direction of waves when the waves travel from air to glass?
The waves are refracted towards the normal (ie towards the line perpendicular to the surface).
What will be the angle of reflection if a ray of light is incident towards a plane mirror at an angle of 30 degrees with the mirror surface?
If the ray hits the mirror at an angle of 30 degrees with the mirror surface, the complementary angle that the ray makes with the normal (perpendicular) to the mirror at the point of incidence is (90 - 30) = 60 degrees and since angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection in a plane mirror, the angle of reflection is 60 degrees.
What will be the angle of reflection if a ray of light is incident towards a plane mirror at an angle of 45 degrees with the mirror surface?
The law of reflection: When a ray of light reflects off a mirror, the angle of the incidence ray is equal to the angle of the reflection ray. Therefore, an incidence ray of 45 degrees will have a reflection ray of 45 degrees. As both rays are equal, either side of the normal line, then adding both angles equals 45 + 45 = 90 degrees. The normal line is a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror.

When light passes through a prism why does the light ray bend towards the base of the prism?
reflection
What is the beam of light that travels towards the mirror called?
Incident ray or ray of incidence.
When do incident managers plan for the demobilization?
Incident managers begin planning for the demobilization when the project is about to be completed. This will be influenced by assessments that indicate that the project is on course towards completion.

Which light is called the incident ray?
To be Specific, It would be the ray of light which is moving towards the medium.
Define concave and convex mirrors?
With Concave, the ends are "bent" towards you, making your reflection look short and stubby. With Convex, the ends are "bent" away from you making your reflection look tall and thinner
