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.

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 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 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 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.

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.
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
When light bounces off of a shiny surface what is it said to be?
When light bounces of a shiny surface, such as a mirror, this is called specular reflection.(Diffuse reflection is when light bounces of a rough surface, such as a wall. You can tell it's a rough surface because you can't see your reflection.)
Light bounces off of objects causing a?
When light bounces off an object we say it is reflected just like how you see your reflection from the light that bounces off of a mirror.
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.

It makes the same angle, on the other side of the normal, at the point of incidence.
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 type of reflection occurs when light bounces off of a SMOOTH surface such as a mirror?
Specular reflection occurs when light bounces off of a smooth surface such as a mirror!
What is the angle of reflecting?
the angle of reflection is the angle where light bounces off the object. for example if you have a mirror the angle of reflection is the one that you can point a laser at the mirror and bounces off.
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.
Laws of reflection by a plane mirror?
angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.
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."
