90 degrees is the largest possible angle of incidence because it is then parallel to the face of the mirror and is grazing the mirror.

What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror?
They are reflected at the angle of incidence.
What is the angle of something is the angle at which light hits a mirror?
angle of incidence
What is the angle of incidence when a ray falls normally on a mirror?
0 degrees
What is the angle formed by a light ray coming into a mirror?
The angle between the ray and the perpendicular to the mirror (NOT the mirror itself), at the point where the ray hits the mirror is called the angle of incidence.
What is the angle of incidence if a reflected wave bounces off a mirror with an angle of reflection equal to 55º?
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.
What is an angle of incidence?
The smallest possible angle of incidence for a light ray traveling toward a mirror is 1800. This is because then, the light ray will be either parallel or on the principal axis and hence, the angle of incidence would be 00.
What is a point of incidence?
The point of incidence is the point where the ray of incidence strikes the mirror.
Characteristics of a plane mirror?
surface which reflects angles of incidence.
What will be the reason - a plane mirror has an angle of incidence O degree?
The light ray arrives perpendicular to the plane of the mirror.
What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror?
They are reflected at the angle of incidence.
What is the angle of something is the angle at which light hits a mirror?
angle of incidence
What is the angle of incidence when a ray falls normally on a mirror?
0 degrees
A ray of light traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will be reflected out through the mirrors?
If the light approaches the mirror along the normal (perpendicular to the mirror), then it reflectsback in the same direction from which it came.In that event, the angle of reflection is still equal to the angle of incidence . . . they're both zero.

What is the angle of incidence if a reflected wave bounces off a mirror with an angle of reflection equal to 55º?
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.
Can the angle of incidence be greater than the angle of reflection when plane mirror?
No, if the mirror is flat (a plane), the angle of incidence always equals the angle of reflection.
What are the values of angle of incidence and angle of reflection for normal incidence of light on the mirror?
