Question

What do you mean by angle of reflection and angle of incidence?

Answer 1

The amount of bending that a light ray experiences can be expressed in terms of theangle of refraction (more accurately, by thedifference between the angle of refractionand the angle of incidence). A ray of light may approach the boundary at an angle of incidence of 45-degrees and bend towards the normal.

Answer 2

Angle of incidence:

• The angle between the incident ray and the normal at the point of incidence is called angle of incidence.

Angle of reflection:

• The angle between the reflected ray and the normal at the point of incidence is called angle of reflection.
