Concept explainers
To Explain: The law of reflection.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When a ray incident on the surface then it is reflected in the same medium, this process is known as the reflection process.
The light rays are reflected back into the same medium after incidence on the mirror. Here, it is found that the reflection angle and the incident angle are equal as well as their planes are also same.
Here,
The mathematical representation of first reflection law is,
Conclusion:
The incidence angle is equal to the reflection angle as per the law of reflection.
