the angle of incidence is the angle measured between the normal and the incident ray.. the angle of reflection is the angle measured between the reflected ray and the normal..
The angle of incidence is ALWAYS equal to the angle of reflection! This is one of the laws of reflection.
The angle of incidence
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.
No. The refractive index is an absolute measure that determines by how much the angle of incidence is different from the angle of reflection.
0(zero) Angle of incidence = angle of reflection

The angle of incidence
Angle of incidence can be anything. Angle of reflection is the same as angle of incidence.

0(zero) Angle of incidence = angle of reflection
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
The angle of reflection.
the angle of incidence is the initial ray angle and the angle of reflection is the reflected ray angle
light's angle of incidence is equal to the angle of its reflection. That the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection
For a smooth surface, the angle of incidence is the same as the angle of reflection.
Both are zero. Thereby it obeys the second law of reflection ie angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.
