The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.

In the "diagram" below the line pointing up is perpendicular to the horizontal line. The horizontal line is something like a mirror.

Now if a light wave was to hit the mirror where the two lines cross then the angle of incidence is the angle between the light wave and the perpendicular line.

The angle of reflection will be the same angle only in the opposite rotation to the perpendicular

What does Pascals principle says that pressure applied to a confined blank transmits unchanged throughout the blank?

Pascal's principle states that pressure applied to a confined fluid will be transmitted undiminished to all portions of the fluid and to the walls of its container.


Newton's blank law states that when one object exerts a force on a second object the second object will exert a force back on the first object that equals in opposite and direction?

Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first object.


If the blank work on a simple machine equals the output work the machine is said to be 100 efficient?

Yes, if the input work equals the output work, the machine is considered 100% efficient. This means that all the energy put into the machine is converted into useful work without any energy being wasted.


What are The two main states of blank energy are kinetic and potential energy?

The two main states of energy are kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work in the future.


What is the law of electric blank states that like charges repel and opposite charge attracts?

The law of electric charges states that like charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract each other. This fundamental principle governs the behavior of electrically charged particles.
