Reflected ray:--                           the ray of light which gets reflected back is called as reflected ray. Normal:--                 At the point of the incidence , When the ray of light strikes on the surface of the mirror , a perpendicular line is drawn is known as the normal. Angel of incident:--                                   When a ray of light falls on the surface of the mirror, the angle formed by the incident ray with the normal is called angle of the incidence. Angle of reflection:--
