State the two laws of reflection of light.
The two laws of reflection can be stated as below:
- The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
- The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the mirror all lie in the same plane.
Laws of reflection:
-
Incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface of the mirror all lie in the same plane.
-
The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence . Both angles are measured with respect to the normal to the mirror
