How is the angle of incidence related to the angle reflection?
they are both light
When light is reflected is the angle of incidence at right angles to the angle of reflection?
Not usually. (Only when the angle is 45 degrees.)"The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection."
When light shines onto a mirror hwo are the angle of incidence and angle of reflection related?
Those two angles are equal.
What are angle of reflection and angle of incidence?
The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray of radiation (usually light) and the normal (perpendicular) at the point of incidence. Similarly, the angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal.
What is the angle of incidence if a reflected wave bounces off a mirror with an angle of reflection equal to 55º?
If a light ray is reflected from a flat mirror with a reflection angle of 55o then the angle of incidence was also 55o. When reflecting from a mirrored surface, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.

When light is reflected how are the angle of the incidence and the angle of reflection related?
The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are related in the sense that the two angles are always the same. They are always equal.
When light is reflected how are the angles of incidence and the angles of reflection related?
The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are related in the sense that the two angles are always the same. They are always equal.
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
What equals the angle of reflection?
The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. This is known as the law of reflection and applies to the reflection of light rays off a surface.
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.
How do angle of reflection and angle of incidence relate?
The law of reflection states that when a ray of light reflects off a surface, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection because the light ray selects the shortest path to reach the destination. This behavior of light is known as Fermat’s principle.
When light is reflected from a surface as the angle of incidence increases the angle of reflection does what?
The angle of reflection also increases in the same direction as the angle of incidence. This follows the law of reflection which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
When light shines onto a mirror how are the angle of incidence and angle of reflection related?
The Law of Sines is he relationship between the incidence angle and the reflection angle: Sin(I)/Incident velocity = Sin(R)/reflection velocity. If the incident and reflection velocity are the same, then the angles are the same.
When light is reflected is the angle of incidence at right angles to the angle of reflection?
Not usually. (Only when the angle is 45 degrees.)"The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection."
