You have given the glancing angle as 30 degree. So the angle of incidence = 90-30 = 60 deg
As i = r by the law of reflection the angle of reflection = 60 deg

What are the differences between an incident ray and a reflection ray?
A incidence ray is the ray that strikes the reflecting surface (prior to reflection). A reflection ray is the ray is reflected from the reflecting surface (after being reflected).
What is the angle between the incident wavefront and the normal to the reflecting surface?
It's called the angle of reflection. 38 degrees. The angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray is 19 degrees + 19 degrees = 38 degrees. The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are measured with respect to the surface normal, or a line drawn perpendicular with the surface the light is reflecting off of.
What is difference between emitted radiation heat and reflected radiation heat?
The magnitude of the incident angle with the normal of the reflection surface and reflection angle with the normal of the surface are the same. The direction of the reflection is away form the surface and the incident is toward the surface.
What is the process occurring when photons bounce off a polished surface called?
Reflection. The reflecting power of the surface is called its albedo.
The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the?
The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal (perpendicular) to the reflecting surface.

How do you measure the angles of incidence and reflection?
They are the angles made by the incident ray and the reflected ray with the line perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point of reflection.
What is the difference between incident ray and the reflected ray?
incident ray-the light ray striking a reflecting surface is called the incident ray. reflected ray-the light ray obtained after reflection from the surface, in the same medium in which the incident ray is travelling , is called the reflected ray.
What's a ray angle?
The ray angle refers to the angle made by the light of incident and reflection on the reflecting surface.
What is reflecting mirrors?
When a light ray is incident upon a reflecting surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. Both of these angles are measured relative to a normal drawn to the surface. The incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal all lie in the same plane.
What is difference between emitted radiation heat and reflected radiation heat?
The magnitude of the incident angle with the normal of the reflection surface and reflection angle with the normal of the surface are the same. The direction of the reflection is away form the surface and the incident is toward the surface.

The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the?
The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal (perpendicular) to the reflecting surface.
In reflection what is the normal?
normal is a perpendicular from reflecting surface
What is the advantage of measuring the angle of reflection and angle incident on either side of the normal to the surface of the mirror?
We measure them on the either side of the mirror and not on the side of the normal to the surface of the mirror because, if the mirror or any reflecting surface is bent, then there will be a difference between the angle of incidence and angle reflection which can be avoided by measuring those angles on the either side of the mirror.
What is an angle of reflection?
Draw a perpendicular from the point where the incident ray is reflected and the angle between the perpendicular and reflected ray is the angle of reflection.
