Question

Is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection the same for all mirrors? Cite evidence to support your opinion

Answer 1

Solution:

The rule of reflection is " The angle of incidence is eqaul to the angle of reflection ".

This is valid even for all types of spherical mirrrors. The law of reflection is symmetric.

A ray that strikes the spherical mirror at its center , above the central axis ,is reflected symmetrically backwards

at the same angle , below the axis.

A ray that strikes along the principal axis is reflected back at the same angle , along the same straight line backwards.. (zero angle) .

For a convex mirror , the incident ray is reflected at the same angle ,
