Incidence is the number of new cases of a condition, symptom, death, or injury that develop during a specific time period, such as a year. The number is often expressed as a percentage of a population. For example, 25% of Americans were diagnosed with the flu in 2002.
Incidence shows the likelihood that a person in that population will be affected by the condition.

What is the formula for angle of incidence?
The formula for calculating the angle of incidence is: Angle of Incidence = Angle of Reflection. The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence.
The angle of reflection is equal to the .......?
The angle of incidence
What is the angle of incidence to the normal incidence?
The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal (perpendicular line) to the surface. In normal incidence, the incident ray is perpendicular to the surface, so the angle of incidence is 0 degrees.
What is plural for incidence?
The plural form of incidence is incidences.
What is a sentence for angle of incidence?
The angle of incidence is the angle formed between an incident ray and the normal to a surface at the point of incidence.
What is the incidence of tax?
Tax incidence refers to who actually pays the tax. Tax incidence can be divided into 1. formal incidence :the party liable to the tax 2. Informal incidence :party who actually pays the tax, The tax incidence is decided by the elasticity of demand and supply for a good or service.
What is the difference between legal incidence and effective incidence?
The legal incidence is on the person or company who is legally obliged to pay the tax. Effective incidence refers to who actually ends up paying the tax.
When will the incidence and prevalence of a disease be equal?
The incidence will equal the prevalence when the duration of the disease is equal to the time period over which the incidence is measured.
Define bus incidence matrix?
explain bus incidence matrix.
Does the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection change as the angle of incidence increases?
No, the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection remains the same regardless of the angle of incidence. This relationship is governed by the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
Which angle is the angle of incidence?
The angle of incidence of a ray (or light or other electromagnetic radiation) to a surface is the angle between the incoming ray and the normal - which is perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence
Where is the incidence of leprosy the highest?
The incidence of leprosy is highest in the poverty belt of the globe.
