the law of reflection states that when light rays reflect off a surface the angle of incidence

  1. is one-half the angle of reflection

  2. twice angle of reflection

  3. equals angle of reflection

  4. none of the above

C Correct answer
Explanation

The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Both angles are measured with respect to the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence). This is a fundamental principle of geometric optics and applies to all types of waves reflecting off surfaces. Options A and B are incorrect because the relationship is equality, not a fractional or multiple relationship.
