What is the angle of incidence of a ray if the reflected ray is at an angle of 90 to the incident ray?
The angle between the incident ray and reflected ray is known as angle of deviation due to reflection. This will always be equal to 2i. Here i is the angle of incidence. So if 2i = 90 then i = 90/2 = 45 So the angle of incidence has to be 45 deg
Does the angle of incidence equal the angle of reflection when a straight light ray hits a straight mirror?
Yes, the angle of incidence always equals the angle of reflection when a straight ray of light hits a mirror that isn't bent.
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
Is there a fixed relationship between a incident ray and a reflected ray?
Yes. The angle of incidence and reflection are equal.
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.
