The angle of incidence is ALWAYS equal to the angle of reflection, therefore the degree of the angle reflection is 55 degrees.

Light strikes a mirror at 20 degrees to the normal what will the angle of reflection be?
The reflection angle will also be 20 degrees from the normal on the other side of the normal in the same plane.
When describing image formation in mirrors what is the angle of reflection?
The angle the light ray makes as it strikes the
What does the law reflection say?
the angle of the ray of reflection is equal to the angle of the ray of incidence, in other word if a light wave hits glass at an angle of 30 degrees, the angle of reflection will also be 30 degrees
The point at which light rays meet?
A normal line is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where a light ray strikes.
As a ray of light passes from air into glass the angle it makes with the surface normal will?
REFLECTION... (this is the right answer for: A ray of light strikes a flat surface of water. The angle that the reflected light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of? )if not incident ray.
A ray of light strikes a plane mirror such that angle with the mirror is 30 degreewhat is the angle of reflection?
30 degrees as the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
Light strikes a mirror at 20 degrees to the normal what will the angle of reflection be?
The reflection angle will also be 20 degrees from the normal on the other side of the normal in the same plane.
If the angle of incidence is 23 degrees what would the angle of reflection be if the light was reflection be if the light was reflected from a plane mirror?
Also 23 degrees.
What happens to the angle of reflected light rays as the angle of incident light rays becomes steeper?
The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Therefore, if your angle of incidence is 15 degrees, your angle of reflection equals that also. If it is 45 degrees, your angle of reflection is also 45 degrees, and so on.

What does the law reflection say?
the angle of the ray of reflection is equal to the angle of the ray of incidence, in other word if a light wave hits glass at an angle of 30 degrees, the angle of reflection will also be 30 degrees
What general statement can you make about the relationship between the angle at which light strikes a mirror and the angle at which is reflected?
the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
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."
What is the angle of reflection of a light ray that hits a mirror at a 48-degree angle from the normal line?
96 degress? If the light ray is straight, and if the mirror isn't bent, then the angle of reflection is exactly 48 degrees, the same number of degrees as the angle of incidence. That's the law of reflection.
What is the simple law that applies when light hits a relecting surface?
When a beam of light strikes a reflective surface it reflects, angle of incidence = angle of reflection
If a beam of light strikes a diamond at an angle of 45 degrees what is the angle of refraction?
17° to the normal.
The point at which light rays meet?
A normal line is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where a light ray strikes.
