Question

8. If angle of incidence is 0°, what is the angle of reflection?​

Answer 1

${ \underline{\underline{ \red{ \bf{Your \: Question:}}}}}$

If angle of incidence is 0°, what is the angle of reflection?

${ \underline{\underline{ \green{ \bf{Required \: answer:}}}}}$

If the angle of incidence is 0⁰ the angle of reflection will also be 0⁰ because it is same as the angle of incidence.

Answer 2

Answer:

If the incident ray falls along the normal, the angle of incidence is 0 degrees, NOT 90 degrees. The angle is measured with the normal to the mirror and not with the plane of the mirror. Hence the angle of reflection is equal to 0 degrees.
