-- Part of the light is transmitted through the surface.
-- Part of the light is absorbed by the surface material.
-- The remainder is reflected away from the surface, at the same angle
relative to the normal direction as the angle from which it arrived. The
polarization of the E-field is also inverted relative to the incident light.

How does the angle at which light hits a mirror compare to the angle at which it leaves the mirror?
The angle is the same but on the other side of the perpendicular to the surface of the mirror at the point at which the light hits the mirror.
When is the angle of incidence in the greatest?
Angle of incident is greatest when the light rays is almost parallel to the surface it hits.
What happens when a beam of light hits a flat mirror at a forty five degree angle?
It is reflected 90 degrees from its original direction.
What happens when a ray of light hits a reflective surface like a mirror?
It'll undergo reflection and will get reflected back
What is the angle called when light hits a mirror or glass block?
If I remember correctly, the angle that the light makes with the plane of the surface is called the incident angle.Incident angle.
