What is the angle of reflection when a ray falls normally on a plane mirror?
90
What is the angle of incidence when a ray of light falls on spherical mirror from its centre of curvature?
That ray of light is just a radius of the sphere. It's perpendicular to the sphere everywhere, so the angle of incidence is zero ... the ray of light arrives along the normal to the mirror at any point.
What does angle of incidence meen?
It is the direction which a moving line falls upon another. For example, the angle at which the wing is fixed to the fuselage of an aeoplane measuring relative to the axis of the fuselage
What happen when a ray of light falls perpendicular to the surface of mirror?
it reflects
How does image formed by plane mirror?
A highly polishes plane surface which reflects light regularly is called a plane mirror. Image is formed as the light returns to the first medium when it just falls on the other surface of the second medium.

What degre3e is the angle of reflection if a ray falls normally on a plane mirror?
0o
What is 0 degree incidence?
when a ray of light falls normally ie. perpendicular to the refracting or reflecting ,the the angle of incidence is zero(angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal at the point of incidence) A ray with 0 angle of incidence doesnot suffer any change on refraction and goes straight into the second medium.
The angle of incedence is equal to the angle of reflection?
This is the second law of reflection phenomenon. So if a ray falls normally on the reflecting mirror then the angle of incidence will be 0. So as the angle of reflection also is to be 0, the ray just retraces its path. That is it is coming back in the same straight line.

That ray of light is just a radius of the sphere. It's perpendicular to the sphere everywhere, so the angle of incidence is zero ... the ray of light arrives along the normal to the mirror at any point.
Why ray of light not bend when it falls perpendicularly on any surfaces?
I think you would have to say that it does ... the portion that's not absorbed is bent exactly 180 degrees from its original path. The result of perpendicular incidence is perfectly consistent with the general rule of reflection that says the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. In the case where the ray of light falls perpendicularly on the reflecting surface, the angle of incidence ... the angle between the arriving path and the normal ... is zero, and so is the angle of reflection. So what's the problem ?

What are facts Angle Falls?
angle falls is the largest waterfall in the world by dc
Why is angle falls called angle falls?
it is at a vertex that is what would make sence
Does Sunlight falls on everything equally or at an angle?
at an angle
Where and what is angle falls?
at a vertex
What happens if light falls on the mirror?
it reflects !
