[edit] Reflection of Light

• Mirror works because it reflects light.
• The light ray that strikes the surface of the mirror is called incident ray.
• The light ray that bounces off from the surface of the mirror is called reflected ray.
• The normal is a line perpendicular to the mirror surface where the reflection occurs.
• The angle between the incident ray and the normal is called the angle of incidence, i
• The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is called the angle of reflection, r.

[edit] Law of Reflection

• The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal all lie in the same plane.
• The angle of incidence, i, is equal to the angle of reflection, r.
