Question

Light striking a mirror at a 50° angle will be reflected at an angle _____.
greater than 50°
less than 50°
equal to 50°

Answer 1

equal to 50


law of reflection: angle of incidence equals angle of reflection

Answer 2

Answer:Actually the answer would be correctly less than 50

Explanation:Because Light is always reflected at an angle equal and opposite to the incoming wave. For example, light striking a mirror at a 45° angle will be reflected in the opposite direction at a 45° angle.
