How does the angle at which light hits a mirror compare to the angle at which it leaves the mirror?
The angle is the same but on the other side of the perpendicular to the surface of the mirror at the point at which the light hits the mirror.
How does the distance of the object compare with the distance of the image from the plane mirror?
The distance of the object from the mirror line should equal the distance of the image from the mirror line.
What kind of mirror would you use to reflect a beam of light at right angles?
a regular
How can you do an Experiment on angle of reflection and angle of incidence?
Set up a light source that has narrow beam (a laser pointer is perfect for this).Point it at a mirror,measure the angle of incidence and of reflection.rotate the mirror,measure the angles,continue through many angles,tabulate and graph the results.
When a wave reflects its angle of incidence equals its angle of reflection?
If you're talking about a flat mirror, yes. Both angles are measured in relation to the mirror's normal. A flat mirror's normal is the perpendicular line that extends from the point of contact from the beam of light on the mirror outward.
