if a incident light is perpendicular to reflecting surface then lights travels same path but in opposite directions and angle of reflecting ray is 180°


abhinav02tomer2002: In no case it would be 180 degrees
aroraharish511: bro check your book again
abhinav02tomer2002: Its from icse 9 th book
abhinav02tomer2002: And read it say reflection and not refraction
abhinav02tomer2002: And if light travels same path in different direction them
abhinav02tomer2002: The incident ray and an the reflected ray move along normal
abhinav02tomer2002: And when two lights move along same path but in opposite directions angle between them is 0 degrees
abhinav02tomer2002: 180 degrees would be angle between incident ray and refrected ray when the ray is enteting from one medium to another but incident ray is normal to the surface of separation of two mediums ... the ray will move undeviated along the same path and in same direction.. so yhen the angle between the incident ray and the refracted ray would be 180 degrees...
abhinav02tomer2002: And this is from class 10th icse
abhinav02tomer2002: And one more thing the angle of incidence and the angle of refection is alway taken with normal and not with the reflectiong surface

If the p incident ray is perpendicular to reflecting surface.. the angle of incidence is zero.., therefore the angle of reflection will also be zero and the reflected ray eould move along normal..

Hope its helpful please mark as brainliest
