What is the name of the angle between angle of incidence and angle of reflection |
|
Answer» The normal line divides the ANGLE between the incident ray and the REFLECTED ray into two equal angles. The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known as the angle of incidence. The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is known as the angle of reflection. (These two angles are labeled with the Greek letter "THETA" ACCOMPANIED by a subscript; READ as "theta-i" for angle of incidence and "theta-r" for angle of reflection.) The law of reflection states that when a ray of light reflects off a surface, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. |
