The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of refraction?
The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of REFLECTION. Refraction is an entirely different phenomenon and has its own law.
The angle of reflection is equal to the .......?
The angle of incidence
Is the angle of refraction the same as the angle of reflection?
No.
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.
What does prism do?
A prism can help us understand the refraction and the reflection of light when it asses between 2 different mediums ( from one medium into another less refractive or from one medium into another more refractive ) and the ray of light may emerge out of the prism by refraction or by reflection and sometimes by total internal reflection ( by obeying the 2 laws of reflection and by making the angel of incidence equal to the angle of reflection ) and sometimes it may continue its path without deviation that is when the angle of incidence is equal to 0 degrees then the angle of refraction will be equal to 0 degrees this is called undeviated !It separates the wavelengths contained in a beam of light.
