What is angle of incidence of a ray if the reflected ray is at an angle of 90 degree of the incident ray Verify the answer with diagram?

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.


What is angle of incident if the reflected ray is 90 degree to incident ray?

The angle of incident is 45 degrees. The incident and reflected ray have the same magnitude and if the sum of the magnitudes is 90 degrees the incident is 45 degrees.


How are incident ray reflected ray and normal related?

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


How are incident ray reflected ray normal related?

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


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.


What is the angle of incidence if the angle of reflection is 15 degrees?

If the ray is incident at right angles to the reflection surface, angle of Incidence will be 90 degrees and so will be the angle of reflection. In such a case, the incident ray, the normal and the reflected ray coincide.


A light wave was reflected off of a mirror at an angle of 10 degrees What was the incident angle?

The incident angle to the Mirror will be 10 deG.


What is the angle of reflection if the angle between the incident ray and reflected ray is 140 degrees?

The angle of reflection is 140/2 = 70 degrees. The angle of reflection is the same as the the same as the incident.


What is the angle between the incident and reflected rays when a ray of light is incident normally on a plane mirror?

if one is to define this question one will be aware that the normal is perpendicular to the surface and thus creates a angle of 90 degrees.


What is the angle between the incident wavefront and the normal to the reflecting surface?

It's called the angle of reflection. 38 degrees. The angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray is 19 degrees + 19 degrees = 38 degrees. The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are measured with respect to the surface normal, or a line drawn perpendicular with the surface the light is reflecting off of.


How many laws of reflection?

There are three laws of reflection and which are as follows:The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the reflection surface at the point of the incidence lie in the same plane.The angle which the incident ray makes with the normal is equal to the angle which the reflected ray makes to the same normal.The reflected ray and the incident ray are on the opposite sides of the normal.


A ray of light is incident towards a plane mirror at an angle of 30-degrees with the mirror surfaceWhat will be the angle of reflection?

The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. It will be at 30o to the surface of the mirror (from the opposite edge) ^ This answer is not correct for SURFACE, but is correct for RELATIVE ^
