To calculate the angle of reflection:
θr = θi
Where:
The Law of Reflection is a principle in physics that states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This means that when a ray of light hits a smooth surface, such as a mirror, it will bounce off at the same angle as it hit the surface, but on the opposite side of the normal line (a line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence). This law applies to all types of waves, including light, sound, and water waves.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
θr = θi = 30 degrees
The angle of reflection is 30 degrees.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
θr = θi = 45 degrees
The angle of reflection is 45 degrees.
