This is FALSE. The incident wave "happens" when you shine the light AT the mirror. THe light that comes back is called the reflected wave.
The ray of light reflects.
the ray of light will be reflected at an angle
A light ray will bounce off the mirror and onto a flat surface try it!
The light hits the mirror and the light bounces off like a reflection

it will reflect off it

The angle between the ray and the perpendicular to the mirror (NOT the mirror itself), at the point where the ray hits the mirror is called the angle of incidence.
The light hits the mirror and the light bounces off like a reflection
The angle between the incident ray and the mirror is equal to the angle between the reflected ray and the mirror.
Reflects
A mirror does not refract light, it REFLECTS it.
it is reflected
Yes...convex mirror diverges light ray that is parallel to the principle axis. The reflected light ray when traced backwards appears to be diverging from principal focus.
