Is the incoming beam of light that strikes a mirror at an angle and reflects the same as that of the incoming beam?

Yes, the beam just reflects off of the mirror. There is no beam created from the mirror.

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
If light hits a mirror at an angle it reflects back at?
If light hits a mirror at an angle it reflects back at you but it will make the image look bigger or smaller (if the mirror is concave or convex). If it is a flat plane mirror the image is the same but if your holding something it will be on the opposite side
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
At what angle does a light ray reflect off a mirror?
It reflects at like 45 degrees I think. No, it reflects off at the same angle it hits the mirror. If the light wave hits the mirror at a 30o angle on the left side, it will reflect off at a 30o angle on the right side. Scientists usually measure these angles from an imaginary line perpendicular to the mirror at the point where the light wave hits the reflecting surface; sounds awkward, but it makes the math easier.
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.
A incoming beam of light strikes a mirror at an angle and reflects. what appears of the angle of the reflected beam?
The angle of approach and the reflected angle is always the same.
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 happens it light when it strikes in plane mirror?
It is reflected at the same angle it hit the mirror at
When light reflects at the same angle that it hit the mirror?
the sun
If light hits a mirror at an angle it reflects back at?
If light hits a mirror at an angle it reflects back at you but it will make the image look bigger or smaller (if the mirror is concave or convex). If it is a flat plane mirror the image is the same but if your holding something it will be on the opposite side
What is meant by angle of reflection?
With specular reflection (how a mirror reflects) the light is reflected from the mirror surface in a specific way.Light from a single incoming direction is reflected into a single outgoing direction as described by the law of reflection.This states that the direction of incoming light (the incident ray), and the direction of outgoing light reflected (the reflected ray) make the same angle with respect to the surface normal, thus the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection and that the incident, normal, and reflected directions are coplanar.
A ray of light strikes a flat surface of water The angle that the incoming light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of?
incident
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 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 happens when a light ray strikes a flat mirror?
It will bounce at the same angle that it came. \ / \__/
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.
What is the simple law that applies when light hits a relecting surface?
When a beam of light strikes a reflective surface it reflects, angle of incidence = angle of reflection
