The angle is called the reflected angle.
A line of reflection is a reflected line, often off of a mirror. If a flashlight sends a beam of light at a mirror (the light is called the incident beam), the angle at which it hits the mirror will equall the angle at which the reflected beam of light (called the reflected beam), exits the mirror. This is called the Law of Reflection. This is why light is reflected from a mirror at the same angle at which light struck its surface. A line of reflection is a reflected line, often off of a mirror. If a flashlight sends a beam of light at a mirror (the light is called the incident beam), the angle at which it hits the mirror will equall the angle at which the reflected beam of light (called the reflected beam), exits the mirror.

15 degrees from the normal - on the other side.
The angle of the reflected ray with the normal line to the surface of the mirror is the same as the angle of incidence. Snell's law.
It is reflected at exactly the same angle, but on the other side of the normal at the point of incidence.
The angle between the light ray and the normal (perpendicular) to the surface at the point of reflection.
Angle of reflection. Simple as that!
The angle of incidence
It is reflected in only one way: in a straight line and the direction such that the angle between the incident ray and the normal at the point of incidence is the same as the angle between the normal and the reflected ray, but on the opposite side of the normal.
The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident light ray and the normal (perpendicular line) to the surface, while the angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected light ray and the normal. According to the law of reflection, these two angles are equal.

incident
It is reflected at exactly the same angle, but on the other side of the normal at the point of incidence.
The incident ray, reflected ray, and normal are related by the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. The incident ray is the incoming ray of light, the reflected ray is the ray of light that bounces off the surface, and the normal is an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence.
The angle between the light ray and the normal (perpendicular) to the surface at the point of reflection.
Decrease if the light is entering the glass at an angle greater than the critical angle, and increase if the light is entering the glass at an angle less than the critical angle. The angle the ray makes with the surface normal is known as the angle of refraction.
