If a ray of light could be observed approaching and reflecting off of a flat mirror, then the behavior of the light as it reflects would follow a predictable law known as the law of reflection. The diagram below illustrates the law of reflection.

The law of reflection is illustrated in Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\), which also shows how the angles are measured relative to the perpendicular to the surface at the point where the light ray strikes. We expect to see reflections from smooth surfaces, but Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\) illustrates how a rough surface reflects light.
Learn about the law of reflection, which states that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence, and the normal to the surface is perpendicular to both. Explore the types of reflection, such as regular and irregular, and the applications of concave and convex mirrors.
The law of reflection states that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence: \[θ_r=θ_i \label{law of reflection} \] The law of reflection is illustrated in Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\), which also shows how the angle of incidence and angle of reflection are measured relative to the perpendicular to the surface at the point where the ...
