How does the angle at which light hits a mirror compare to the angle at which it leaves the mirror?

The angle is the same but on the other side of the perpendicular to the surface of the mirror at the point at which the light hits the mirror.

How do angles of light entering and leaving a mirror compare?
The angle formed from the ray approaching the mirror and the normal (imaginary line that's perpendicular to the mirror) is equal to the angle formed by the reflected ray and the normal. See link below for "Image"... In this image, angle I and angle R are equal
What is a line of reflection?
A line of reflection is a reflected line, often off of a mirror. If a flashlight sends a beam of light at a mirror (the light is called the incident beam), the angle at which it hits the mirror will equall the angle at which the reflected beam of light (called the reflected beam), exits the mirror. This is called the Law of Reflection. This is why light is reflected from a mirror at the same angle at which light struck its surface.

What is the angle of something is the angle at which light hits a mirror?
angle of incidence
What is the angle formed by a light ray coming into a mirror?
The angle between the ray and the perpendicular to the mirror (NOT the mirror itself), at the point where the ray hits the mirror is called the angle of incidence.
A ray of light strikes a plane mirror such that angle with the mirror is 30 degreewhat is the angle of reflection?
30 degrees as the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence

What is light reflected at after hitting a mirror?
Light hitting a flat mirror at an angle is reflected at the same angle, relative to the mirror surface.
What happens when light hits mirror?
if it is a normal mirror the light we reflect of the mirror from a different angle the angle on which it comes from is the same angles as it goes out.

What is the angle of something is the angle at which light hits a mirror?
angle of incidence
A light ray hitting a mirror at an angle is reflected off at angle?
The angle between the incident ray and the mirror is equal to the angle between the reflected ray and the mirror.
What is the angle formed by a light ray coming into a mirror?
The angle between the ray and the perpendicular to the mirror (NOT the mirror itself), at the point where the ray hits the mirror is called the angle of incidence.
What happens to the light wave after it stikes the mirror?
what happens when you direct light waves at an angle into a mirror
A light wave was reflected off of a mirror at an angle of 10 degrees What was the incident angle?
The incident angle to the Mirror will be 10 deG.
A ray of light strikes a plane mirror such that angle with the mirror is 30 degreewhat is the angle of reflection?
30 degrees as the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
What is the rule of reflection?
When light is striking at a mirror the angle it reflects at is at the same angle that the light has been struck at.
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.
