What does it mean if the reflected beam is above the incident beam? What does it mean if the reflected beam is below the incident beam?

PLEASE MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST
The angle of reflection is more than the angle of incidence if the reflected beam is above the incident beam and vice-versa due to the following reasons:
- The angle of reflected ray is equal to the angle of incident ray as state by the law of reflection.
- With the help of line perpendicular to the surface known as normal line is used to measure all the angles.
- If the vision position is above the actual image location then the light travel from the object in such a way that the angle of incidence is less than the angle of reflected ray which means that the reflected beam is above the incident beam.
- On the other hand if the vision position is below the actual image location in the light travels from the object in such a way that the angle of incidence is more than the angle of refracted ray with mean that the reflected beam is below the incident beam.
