Not usually. (Only when the angle is 45 degrees.)
"The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection."

What is the angle between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?
the angle of incidence is the initial ray angle and the angle of reflection is the reflected ray angle
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.
How do you measure angle of incidence and angle of reflection?
the angle of incidence is the angle measured between the normal and the incident ray.. the angle of reflection is the angle measured between the reflected ray and the normal..
What are angle of reflection and angle of incidence?
The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray of radiation (usually light) and the normal (perpendicular) at the point of incidence. Similarly, the angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal.
What is the best angle of incidents?
The angle of incidence is the angle of which it item is reflected, this leads us on to the fact that the angle of incidence will always be the same as the angle of reflection.
When light is reflected how are the angles of incidence and the angles of reflection related?
The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are related in the sense that the two angles are always the same. They are always equal.
When light is reflected how are the angle of the incidence and the angle of reflection related?
The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are related in the sense that the two angles are always the same. They are always equal.
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.
How do you work out how a light wave will be reflected?
You apply the law of reflection. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. The angles are measured between the rays and the normal at the point of incidence, which means the line at right angles to the surface at that point.
What does the law of reflected state?
light's angle of incidence is equal to the angle of its reflection. That the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection
What is the angle between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?
the angle of incidence is the initial ray angle and the angle of reflection is the reflected ray angle
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.
Explain how both kinds of reflection obey the law of reflection?
The angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. In regular reflection, parallel rays strike are reflected from smooth surface at the same angle in diffuse reflection, parallel rays strike and are reflected from a bumpy surface at different angles.
What are law of reflection?
1. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. 2. The reflected ray, the incident ray and the normal at the point of incidence lie on the same plane.
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
How do you measure angle of incidence and angle of reflection?
the angle of incidence is the angle measured between the normal and the incident ray.. the angle of reflection is the angle measured between the reflected ray and the normal..
