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 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.
If the angle of incidence is 23 degrees what would the angle of reflection be if the light was reflection be if the light was reflected from a plane mirror?
Also 23 degrees.
What is the angle of incidence if a plane mirror has an angle of 20?
The answer depends on knowing what the plane mirror hhas a 20-degree angle relative to!
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.
Laws of reflection by a plane mirror?
angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.
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.

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.
If the angle of incidence is 23 degrees what would the angle of reflection be if the light was reflection be if the light was reflected from a plane mirror?
Also 23 degrees.
What are the values of angle of incidence and angle of reflection for normal incidence of light on a plane mirror?

Does a plane mirror converge a parallel beam of light?
No. The angle of incidence will equal the angle of reflection. No convergence will take place.

What are law of reflection?
1. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. 2. The reflected ray, the incident ray and the normal at the point of incidence lie on the same plane.
What is the angle of incidence if a plane mirror has an angle of 20?
The answer depends on knowing what the plane mirror hhas a 20-degree angle relative to!
State 2 laws of reflection?
The 2 laws of reflection are 1. angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection. And 2. incident ray,reflected ray and the normal at the point of incidence lie in the same plane.
