What does the law of reflection tell us about the angle of a reflected ray of light?
The law of reflection states that a light ray will reflect at the same angle that it hits a surface. We can use this law to guide light to different targets!
How do you compare reflection refraction and dispersion?
You can compare it by saying that each of them occur when a light transfers through one meduim to another. That's one way of explaining it.That is incorrect :( It happens when light is shone onto or through a different medium. Reflection happens when light is shone ONTO a mirror, you cant shine light THROUGH a mirror.
Does the law of reflection apply to curved and flat mirrors?
The law of reflection is valid for any ray of light. So it is also valid for curved and flat surfaces. For curved surfaces, the normal is taken as the normal to the tangent of the point where the light ray hits the 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.
Is the law of reflection when light hits a surface at an angle it reflects at the left angle?
The law of reflection states that when an object bounces off a flat surface, the angle it at which it hits the surface will be equal to the angle at which it bounces away.

What are the similarities of reflection and refraction?
REFLECTION: IF a light ray in incident on a surface if it bring back to same medium is called reflection REFRACTION: IF a light ray in incident on a surface and going to another medium is called reflection and there is a a law for refraction that is SNELL'S LAW
When a beam of light undergoes diffuse reflection do the individual rays within the beam follow the law of reflection?
Yes.
What happens to light when its reflected?
According to law of reflection, the angle of incidence and angle of reflection are equal. If the incident surface is smooth specular reflection takes place where the light is reflected in a single direction.
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 two light rays does the law of reflection involve?
In doesn't affect how sad you are :)

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.
Is the first law of reflection valid for diffused reflection?
no It is definitely obeying both the basic laws of reflection. Only that on irregular reflection, all incident rays are at different angles which results in scattered reflected rays of light.
