What is a line of reflection?
A line of reflection is a reflected line, often off of a mirror. If a flashlight sends a beam of light at a mirror (the light is called the incident beam), the angle at which it hits the mirror will equall the angle at which the reflected beam of light (called the reflected beam), exits the mirror. This is called the Law of Reflection. This is why light is reflected from a mirror at the same angle at which light struck its surface.

What is the incident angle of a beam of light if the beam of light is reflected at an angle of 15 degrees from the normal?
15 degrees from the normal - on the other side.
What is the reflected angle for a light beam hitting a mirror?
The angle of the reflected ray with the normal line to the surface of the mirror is the same as the angle of incidence. Snell's law.
A ray of light traveling from air to water is incident at an angle of 64 degrees Part of the light is reflected at an angle of what?
It is reflected at exactly the same angle, but on the other side of the normal at the point of incidence.
When light is reflected from smooth surface the angle of incidence is?
The angle between the light ray and the normal (perpendicular) to the surface at the point of reflection.
The angle that the reflected light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of?
The angle of incidence
What is the angle called that the reflected light makes with the normal?
Angle of reflection. Simple as that!
What happen to light rays as it strikes a smooth and shiny surface liike mirror?
The light rays gets reflected in the same angle. Angle between normal and the incident ray is called angle of incident and angle between normal and reflected ray is called angle of relection. Normal is an imagenary perpendicular line on the reflecting surface. Angle of incidence is alway equal to angle of reflection.
As a ray of light passes from air into glass the angle it makes with the surface normal will?
REFLECTION... (this is the right answer for: A ray of light strikes a flat surface of water. The angle that the reflected light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of? )if not incident ray.

When light is reflected from smooth surface the angle of incidence is?
The angle between the light ray and the normal (perpendicular) to the surface at the point of reflection.
When light is reflected off of a smooth surface in how many ways is it reflected?
It is reflected in only one way: in a straight line and the direction such that the angle between the incident ray and the normal at the point of incidence is the same as the angle between the normal and the reflected ray, but on the opposite side of the normal.
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 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.
