A light ray incident upon a reflective surface will be reflected at an angle equal to the incident angle. Both angles are typically measured with respect to the normal to the surface. This law of reflection can be derived from Fermat's Principle.

Fermat's Principle: Light follows the path of least time. Of course the straight line from A to B is the shortest time, but suppose it has a single reflection.

The principle states that the path taken between two points by a ray of light is the path that can be traversed in the least time. This principle is sometimes taken as the definition of a ray of light.
