Question 1

What happens to a light ray when it reflects off a smooth flat surface?

Accepted Answer

It follows the law of reflection where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.

Answer

It bends at an angle.

Answer

It scatters in all directions.

Answer

It disappears completely.

Question 2

Which of the following best describes the angle of incidence in reflection?

Accepted Answer

It is the angle between the incoming ray and the normal line to the surface.

Answer

It is always equal to zero degrees.

Answer

It is the angle between the incoming ray and the reflected ray.

Answer

It measures the distance traveled by the light ray.
