regular reflection
When a light beam hits a mirror, it reflects at an angle equal to the angle of incidence, according to the law of reflection. If the light beam hits the mirror at 75 degrees relative to the normal (the line perpendicular to the surface), it will reflect at an angle of 75 degrees on the opposite side of the normal. Thus, the angle of reflection is also 75 degrees.
The similarity of the two is that if.... example: if you shined a flashlight at a 30 degree angle on a mirror it will reflect and show as a 30 degree angle on the other side. They are equal.
Reflect the line of physics And angles will have the dame degrees either side As taught by Sir Isaac Newton (one of the best)
By convention angles are measured from the normal to the reflecting surface. The angle of incidence, 35 degrees, is equal to the angle of reflection. In this case 35 degrees. The answer is 35 degrees.
