Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection is:

Answer: Law of reflection.

  • A Law of refraction
  • B Law of reflection
  • C Law of diffraction
  • D Law of interference

Correct answer: B. Law of reflection

Explanation: Law of reflection: angle of incidence = angle of reflection (both measured from the normal).

Concave mirror ray construction: a ray parallel to the axis reflects through F, and a ray through F reflects parallel, locating the inverted real image. Image: Maxmath12, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons.

Concept context

Reflection, refraction, lenses, mirrors, total internal reflection.
