Definition of incident angle
Angle between the incident ray and the normal
Definition of reflected angle
Angle between the reflected ray and the normal
Law of Reflection
Incident angle is equal to the reflected angle
Incident angle when a ray strikes perpendicularly
Reflected angle is also perpendicular (Both 0 degrees)
Incident angle with maximum value
Reflected angle also reaches its maximum at the same value
Specular reflection and incident angle
Reflected angle is orderly and predictable
Diffuse reflection and incident angle
Reflected angle is scattered
Ray diagram with parallel incident rays
Reflected rays are also parallel
Incident angle in fiber optics
Reflected angle critical for total internal reflection
Measuring the incident angle
In practice, measure the reflected angle to verify
When the surface is curved (convex)
Reflected angles vary across the surface
When the surface is curved (concave)
Reflected angles can cause rays to converge
Incident angles at the Brewster's angle
Reflected light is perfectly polarized
Light incident angle on a solar panel
Reflected angle affects efficiency and power output
Incident angle of light on a water surface
Reflected angle helps determine visibility underwater
