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.
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 angle of rotation if you know how many vertices a figure has?
A figure can be rotated through any angle of your choice.
what- A triangle is rotated repeatedly around point P to make a pinwheel.Which angle appears to be the angle of rotation?
40
What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror at an angle?
they are reflected at an equal opposing angle on a first-surface mirror. on a second surface (bathroom mirror) they are also reflected, but some are absorbed/disbursed by impurities and inconsistencies in the glass.
When a mirror with a fixed beam on it is rotated through a certain angle the reflected beam is rotated through an angle that is?
Twice as large
What angle should you rotate a mirror so that a reflected ray rotates through 25?
To rotate a mirror so that a reflected ray rotates through 25 degrees, the mirror should be rotated half that angle, which is 12.5 degrees.
A light ray hitting a mirror at an angle is reflected off at angle?
The angle between the incident ray and the mirror is equal to the angle between the reflected ray and the mirror.
What is light reflected at after hitting a mirror?
Light hitting a flat mirror at an angle is reflected at the same angle, relative to the mirror surface.
What angle of rotation does the letter S have?
0, the angle is rotated about the origion

A incoming beam of light strikes a mirror at an angle and reflects. what appears of the angle of the reflected beam?
The angle of approach and the reflected angle is always the same.
What is the angle of rotation if you know how many vertices a figure has?
A figure can be rotated through any angle of your choice.
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.
When light reflected in a mirror what is special about the angle of inncident?
It is equal to the angle of reflection.
