When is angle of incidence equal to angle of reflection?
The angle of incidence is ALWAYS equal to the angle of reflection! This is one of the laws of reflection.
The angle of reflection is equal to the .......?
The angle of incidence
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.
Does refractive index vary with the angle of incidence?
No. The refractive index is an absolute measure that determines by how much the angle of incidence is different from the angle of reflection.
What is the difference of angle of incidence ad the angle of reflection?
0(zero) Angle of incidence = angle of reflection
When is angle of incidence equal to angle of reflection?

The angle of reflection is equal to the .......?
The angle of incidence
What is the size of the angle of incidence and reflection?
Angle of incidence can be anything. Angle of reflection is the same as angle of incidence.

What is the difference of angle of incidence ad the angle of reflection?
0(zero) Angle of incidence = angle of reflection
When a light relects on a mirror why are the angles there?
There are 2 kinds of angle that lets reflection to occur the angle of incidence- it is the light going to flat or smooth surface the angle of reflection- where in the bouncing back of light occurs the angle of incidence and angle of reflection usually have the equal measure
What of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence?
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 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
How is the angle of incidence of light ray related to the angle of reflection?
For a smooth surface, the angle of incidence is the same as the angle of reflection.
What are value of angle of incidence and angle of reflection for normal incidence of light on mirror?
Both are zero. Thereby it obeys the second law of reflection ie angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.
