What general statement can you make about the relationship between the angle at which light strikes a mirror and the angle at which is reflected?
the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
A ray of light strikes a mirror the angle formed by a incident ray and the reflected ray measures 90 degrees.what are the measurements of the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?
yes.
What will be the angle of reflection if a ray of light is incident towards a plane mirror at an angle of 30 degrees with the mirror surface?
If the ray hits the mirror at an angle of 30 degrees with the mirror surface, the complementary angle that the ray makes with the normal (perpendicular) to the mirror at the point of incidence is (90 - 30) = 60 degrees and since angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection in a plane mirror, the angle of reflection is 60 degrees.
What is the angle of incidence if a reflected wave bounces off a mirror with an angle of reflection equal to 55º?
If a light ray is reflected from a flat mirror with a reflection angle of 55o then the angle of incidence was also 55o. When reflecting from a mirrored surface, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
Is the angle of incidence less than the angle of reflection on a plane mirror?
they are equal

Light strikes a mirror at 20 degrees to the normal what will the angle of reflection be?
The reflection angle will also be 20 degrees from the normal on the other side of the normal in the same plane.
A ray of light strikes a mirror the angle formed by a incident ray and the reflected ray measures 90 degrees.what are the measurements of the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?
yes.
What is the angle between the normal and the surface of a mirror?
The angle between the normal and the surface of anything is by definition always 90 degrees, regardless of whether it is a mirror, a piece of concrete, a wooden plank, etc.
Laws of reflection by a plane mirror?
angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.
What is the angle of reflecting?
the angle of reflection is the angle where light bounces off the object. for example if you have a mirror the angle of reflection is the one that you can point a laser at the mirror and bounces off.
Can the angle of incidence be greater than the angle of reflection when plane mirror?
No, if the mirror is flat (a plane), the angle of incidence always equals the angle of reflection.
Where is the direction of the reflected ray if a ray of light strikes to a mirror?
As the incident ray coincides the normal so the incident angle is 0 degree and angle of incident equals to the angle of reflection so the ray after reflection retraces its orignal path. By mohit agarwal

If light strikes a body of water at an angle of 55 degrees the angle of reflection will be what?
The angle of incidence is ALWAYS equal to the angle of reflection, therefore the degree of the angle reflection is 55 degrees.
What angle is the same distance from the normal on a plane mirror as the incident angle?
The angle of reflection.
