None. Degrees are a measurement of angle.

A ray is a geometric figure that has one endpoint and extends indefinitely in one direction. Since a ray has only one dimension (length), it does not have a specific angle or degree measurement associated with it. In geometry, angles are formed when two rays share a common endpoint, creating a vertex. The measurement of an angle is typically expressed in degrees, but a single ray by itself does not have a degree value.
The angle of incident is 45 degrees. The incident and reflected ray have the same magnitude and if the sum of the magnitudes is 90 degrees the incident is 45 degrees.
If I understand the question correctly, then 0 degrees or 180 degrees.

42 degrees
The law of reflection: When a ray of light reflects off a mirror, the angle of the incidence ray is equal to the angle of the reflection ray. Therefore, an incidence ray of 45 degrees will have a reflection ray of 45 degrees. As both rays are equal, either side of the normal line, then adding both angles equals 45 + 45 = 90 degrees. The normal line is a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror.
