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.
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.
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 will be the angle of reflection if a ray of light is incident towards a plane mirror at an angle of 45 degrees with the mirror surface?
The law of reflection: When a ray of light reflects off a mirror, the angle of the incidence ray is equal to the angle of the reflection ray. Therefore, an incidence ray of 45 degrees will have a reflection ray of 45 degrees. As both rays are equal, either side of the normal line, then adding both angles equals 45 + 45 = 90 degrees. The normal line is a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror.
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
What is the angle if a wave bounces off a mirror with the reflection of 55 degrees?
The angle of incidence is also 55 degrees because it is reflected

A ray of light is incident towards a plane mirror at an angle of 30-degrees with the mirror surfaceWhat will be the angle of reflection?
The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. It will be at 30o to the surface of the mirror (from the opposite edge) ^ This answer is not correct for SURFACE, but is correct for RELATIVE ^

30 degrees as the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
What will be the angle of reflection if a ray of light is incident towards a plane mirror at an angle of 45 degrees with the mirror surface?
The law of reflection: When a ray of light reflects off a mirror, the angle of the incidence ray is equal to the angle of the reflection ray. Therefore, an incidence ray of 45 degrees will have a reflection ray of 45 degrees. As both rays are equal, either side of the normal line, then adding both angles equals 45 + 45 = 90 degrees. The normal line is a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror.

the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
What is plan mirror?
A plane mirror is a mirror with a planar reflective surface. For light rays striking a plane mirror, the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the surface normal (an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface). Therefore the angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal and a collimated beam of light does not spread out after reflection from a plane mirror, except for diffraction effects.
What is the angle of incidence if a reflected wave bounces off a mirror at an angle of fifty five degrees?
It makes the same angle, on the other side of the normal, at the point of incidence.
What happened when light strikes at the mirror?
it reflects of the mirror. a very small part of light is absorbed by the mirror a rest of it is reflected back in the same medium . following the 1st law of reflection , a ray of light falling on a mirror is reflected back making an equal with the "Imaginery normal to the point of incidence."
Laws of reflection by a plane mirror?
angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.
What is the angle of reflection of a light ray that hits a mirror at a 48-degree angle from the normal line?
96 degress? If the light ray is straight, and if the mirror isn't bent, then the angle of reflection is exactly 48 degrees, the same number of degrees as the angle of incidence. That's the law of reflection.
