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
What tajes place when the angle of incidence is smaller than the critical angle?
Refraction and partial internal reflection occurs
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.
Does doubling the angle of incidence cause the angle of refraction to double?
No, doubling the angle of incidence itself will not cause a doubling of the angle of refraction.
What is the difference of angle of incidence ad the angle of reflection?
0(zero) Angle of incidence = angle of reflection
The angle of reflection is equal to the .......?
The angle of incidence
Is there a difference between reflection and scattering?
in reflection, angle of incidence is equal to angle of refraction.... where as in scattering, there is no such law....:)
If angle of incidence equals critical angle what is angle of refraction?
90o. i think there will be no refraction there will be totally internal reflection
State the law of refraction?
Ans. The law of reflection states for that: 1. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. 2. The incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal at the point of incidence lie in the same plane.
What is reflection in science terms?
♦ According to the law of reflection, the angle of reflection of a reflected wave is equal to its angle of incidence. Compare refraction
What tajes place when the angle of incidence is smaller than the critical angle?
Refraction and partial internal reflection occurs
What does refraction and reflection have to do with mirages?
Actually it is refraction process and specifically indentified as total internal reflection. The condition for total reflection is that the ray has to traverse from denser medium to the rarer medium and the angle of incidence has to be more than the critical angle.
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 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.
How do you compare the angle of incidence and the angle refraction?
The angles of light are the result of the law of sines: sine( incidence angle)/speed of incidence = sine(refraction angle)/ speed of refraction
The relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction is known as law?
Snell's Law states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is equal.
Does doubling the angle of incidence cause the angle of refraction to double?
No, doubling the angle of incidence itself will not cause a doubling of the angle of refraction.
