Question

A ray of light strikes a mirror. The angle formed between the incident ray and the reflected ray measures 64 º. What are the measurements of the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection? Show your answer on a diagram

Answer 1

Answer:

Draw line perpendicular to mirror

Angle of incidence = angle between incident ray and perpendicular

Angle of reflection = angle between reflected ray and perpendicular

32 + 32 = 64

Angle of incidence = angle of reflection = 32 deg
