By convention angles are measured from the normal to the reflecting surface. The angle of incidence, 35 degrees, is equal to the angle of reflection. In this case 35 degrees. The answer is 35 degrees.
If the surface is completely reflective then the angle at which the incident light leaves the surface will be different. For a rough surface the light would be scattered, whereas for a smooth surface they would reflect at the same angle the hit. If the surface isn't completely reflective then the angle and speed and which the light enters the object. For a rough surface the angles will random and based on the refractive index of the material. For a smooth surface they will be proportional to the sin of the angle times the refractive index.
For a smooth surface, the angle of incidence is the same as the angle of reflection.
The angle between the light ray and the normal (perpendicular) to the surface at the point of reflection.

It works here in Georgia, if the surface is flat and smooth.
Newton: " the angle of incidence equals the angle of refraction."

Wherever a light ray hits the reflecting surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. Both angles are measured with respect to the normal (perpendicular) to the surface at that point, so if the surface is bumpy, and the normal to it is different directions in different places, then light rays will reflect in several directions. But if the surface is really a smooth plane, then every light ray that is incident in the same direction will reflect in the same direction. The whole art and science of controlling where reflected light rays go is really the ability to control the shape of the reflecting surface, and the normal to it at different points on it.
This is essentially correct. A beam of light, when striking the plane of a mirror, will be reflected from that surface at the same angle as the incident beam.
On a smooth surface the angle of reflection and the angle of incidence is equal
For a smooth surface, the angle of incidence is the same as the angle of reflection.

Reflection is when light bounces off an object. If the surface is smooth and shiny, like glass, water or polished metal, the light will reflect at the same angle as it hit the surface. This is called specular reflection.
