If measured from the perpendicular at the point of incidence, they MUST be the same. So if there is a very large difference the possibilities are:
(a) something went wrong with the experiment or
(b) the reflecting surface is not even.
The relationship between the incident angle and the reflected angle in light reflection is described by the law of reflection. This law states that the angle at which light hits a surface (incident angle) is equal to the angle at which it bounces off that surface (reflected angle).
The angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray is equal to the angle between the incident ray and the normal. When the mirror is rotated, the normal also rotates by the same angle. Therefore, the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray will still be 20 degrees.
The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known to be angle of incidence The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is said to be angle of reflection By the law, the angle of incidence = angle of reflection
The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Therefore, if the angle between the incident and reflected rays is 60 degrees, the angle of incidence is also 60 degrees.
An incident ray is the ray of light that approaches a surface, while a reflected ray is the ray of light that bounces off the surface after striking it. The angle of incidence of the incident ray is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected ray, as per the law of reflection.
The angle between the incident ray and the mirror is equal to the angle between the reflected ray and the mirror.
An angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the surface normal (a line perpendicular to the surface) at the point of reflection. It is equal to the angle of incidence (angle between the incident ray and the surface normal) in accordance with the law of reflection.
Call the angle from the incident ray to the normal X. The angle of the reflected ray to the normal also has to be X because the incidence angle and the reflected angle are equal by law of reflection. Since the angle between the reflected and incident ray is 90 degrees: 2*X = 90 So, X = 45 degrees.
The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known to be angle of incidence The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is said to be angle of reflection By the law, the angle of incidence = angle of reflection
The angle of reflection is 140/2 = 70 degrees. The angle of reflection is the same as the the same as the incident.
yes
the angle of incidence is the angle measured between the normal and the incident ray.. the angle of reflection is the angle measured between the reflected ray and the normal..
