Answer 2

When a ray of light approaches a smooth polished surface and the light ray bounces back, it is called the reflection of light. The incident light ray which lands upon the surface is said to be reflected off the surface. The ray that bounces back is called the reflected ray.

Laws of Reflection

The laws of reflection determine the reflection of incident light rays on reflecting surfaces, like mirrors, smooth metal surfaces, and clear water. The law of reflection states that  :-

• The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal all lie in the same plane

• The angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
