Why is it easier to measure the angle of incidence an the angle of reflection n a flat surface?

When talking about reflection (normally with light), one works out the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection by drawing a line that is perpendicular (90 degrees) to the reflector and measuring the angle between this line and the ray of incidence/reflection. This line is called the normal line. It is easier to measure the angles of incidence and reflection on a flat surface, because it is easier to draw an accurate normal line.

Parallax would be easier to measure if?
Parallax would be easier to measure if the Earth were farther from the sun. This way, there will be a wider angle to the stars using the parallax method.
How do you find a radius on a cylinder?
It's probably easier to measure the diameter, i.e., the distance across. Measure that, and divide by 2.
How do you measure the circumference of a cirlcle?
You need to measure it with something flexible, like a string.If you know for sure it is a circle, it would be easier to measure the diameter, then multiply by pi.
A simple machine with a flat surface set at an angle to a horizontal surface?
A simple machine that consists of a flat surface set at an angle to a horizontal surface is known as a ramp. Ramps make it easier to move heavy objects on wheels up or down levels.
What are adaptations for the surface area to volume ratio?
When an animal for example an elephant has a large surface area to volume ratio (big animals) it can lose heat easier which is an adaptation to survive the climate in which they live
Why it is easier to see your reflection on a smooth surface than a rough surface?
because all the crystals in the substance are facing the same direction. they are all little mirrors by themselves
Why can you see your reflection on a transparent window at night?
You can always see your reflection in the window, just not as well during the day.The light coming in from outside makes it easier to focus your eyes past the window to your surroundings outside, instead of focusing on the reflection.
Why if a window is clear can you see your reflection at night?
The darkness outside provides a backdrop to allow your reflection to be seen easier.
Which is easier to read a non glossy book or the glossy one?
For my eyes, it is easier to read the non-glossy books because no glare/reflection would occur.
Parallax would be easier to measure if?
Parallax would be easier to measure if the Earth were farther from the sun. This way, there will be a wider angle to the stars using the parallax method.
Is it easier to measure a table in centimeters or decimeters?
Centimeters
Why in America is soda bottles in liters?
Beause it is easier to measure.
What is the purpose of knurling a component on lathe?
The knurled surface is easier to turn with one's hand than a smooth surface.
How does increased surface area affect the action of an enzyme?
the greater the surface area the easier it is for them to reach and react with substrates
How to measure gas pipe?
I use the Pipe Friendly Tape Measure by TekForce. It makes measuring pipes easier and faster.
