incident ray: the ray that strikes the object
reflected ray: the ray that is directed away from the object
The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Therefore, if the angle between the incident and reflected rays is 60 degrees, the angle of incidence is also 60 degrees.
The two rays involved in reflection are the incident ray, which is the ray of light approaching the reflective surface, and the reflected ray, which is the ray of light that bounces off the surface after reflection.
The light rays that leave a mirror are called reflected rays. They are the result of light bouncing off the mirror's surface at an equal angle to the incident angle.
The intensity of the incident ray is equal to the sum of the intensity of the reflected ray and the refracted ray, according to the law of conservation of energy. This means that some of the incident light is reflected and some is refracted when transitioning from one medium to another. The specific ratios of reflection and refraction depend on the properties of the materials involved.
When a ray of light is incident normally on a plane mirror, the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray is 0 degrees. This means that the reflected ray will travel back along the same path as the incident ray, creating a symmetry in the reflection process.

Incident Ray and Reflected ray

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Therefore, if the angle between the incident and reflected rays is 60 degrees, the angle of incidence is also 60 degrees.
The two rays involved in reflection are the incident ray, which is the ray of light approaching the reflective surface, and the reflected ray, which is the ray of light that bounces off the surface after reflection.
All reflected light rays pass through the point of reflection, which is the point where the incident ray strikes the reflecting surface and reflects off it.
Some light that falls on any surface is scattered back (reflected). A rough surface tends to scatter the light in different directions while a smooth surface tends to scatter more of the original (incident) rays straight back. This explains why a smooth surface reflects a "clearer" image than that reflected from a rough surface.
The light rays that leave a mirror are called reflected rays. They are the result of light bouncing off the mirror's surface at an equal angle to the incident angle.
The intensity of the incident ray is equal to the sum of the intensity of the reflected ray and the refracted ray, according to the law of conservation of energy.

light rays
When light is reflected, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This law of reflection ensures that the reflected ray changes direction in a predictable manner based on the angle of incidence. The surface characteristics of the material being reflected from can also affect the direction of the reflected light.
