Those angles are equal at the point where a ray of light hits the mirror,
regardless of the shape of the mirror.

Why should you keep the prism in minimum deviation position?
f a line is drawn parallel to the angle of incidence axis (X-axis), it cuts the graph at two points, showing that there are two values of angle of incidence for an angle of deviation. However, at the point of angle of minimum deviation, the line will be tangent to the curve showing that for minimum angle of deviation there is only one angle of incidence.
How many images will be formed when a candle is placed between two plane mirrors at 40 cm's apart?
The answer depends on the angle between the mirrors. The distance between the mirrors does not, in theory, make any difference. If the angle between the mirrors is x degrees, then the theoretical number of images is (360/x)- 1 which is rounded down. In practice, minor defects in the mirrors, refraction, total internal refraction, absorptions, scattering etc will reduce the number of images.The answer depends on the angle between the mirrors.

Definition of acceptance angle of fibre?
maximam angle through which light can b injected to a optical fiber for its total intenal reflection
When a ray passes through two parallel slabs what will be the angle of deviation?
It depends on (a) the angle of incidence, and (b) the relative refractive indices of the slabs as well as the medium on either side of them and between them.
How do you find an arc measure?
It depends on what measure you want: the angle subtended or the length of the curved segment, and also on what information you do have.
Why does the angle of incidence equal the angle of reflection in the case of curved mirrors?
because that's the rule. angle of incident ALWAYS = angle of reflection.
When is angle of incidence equal to angle of reflection?
The angle of incidence is ALWAYS equal to the angle of reflection! This is one of the laws of reflection.
The angle of reflection is equal to the .......?
The angle of incidence
What is the size of the angle of incidence and reflection?
Angle of incidence can be anything. Angle of reflection is the same as angle of incidence.
What is the difference of angle of incidence ad the angle of reflection?
0(zero) Angle of incidence = angle of reflection
What of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence?
The angle of reflection.
What is the angle between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?
the angle of incidence is the initial ray angle and the angle of reflection is the reflected ray angle
What does the law of reflected state?
light's angle of incidence is equal to the angle of its reflection. That the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection
How is the angle of incidence of light ray related to the angle of reflection?
For a smooth surface, the angle of incidence is the same as the angle of reflection.
What are value of angle of incidence and angle of reflection for normal incidence of light on mirror?
Both are zero. Thereby it obeys the second law of reflection ie angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.
What effects does light have on concave and convex mirrors?
Light has little or no effect on a mirror. The mirrors follow the rule: "the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection". Concave mirrors concentrate light to a point and convex spread it out.
What equals the angle of reflection?
the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
