What's the angle between the hours marked on a clock? For example, what's the angle between 12 and 1? What angle is swept out by the hour hand of a clock each hour?math4me said:If a beam of light shines from the 10 on the face of a clock, reflects off a mirror in the center and strikes the 5, what is the angle of reflection.
Where did you get this? Did you read Halls' answer? (But you are correct that the angle of reflection will equal half of the total angle.)math4me said:Ah so the internal angle is 40 degrees, so the angle of reflection is 20 degrees? Am i right anyone??
The angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal line drawn at the point of incidence on a reflective surface.
The angle of reflection is measured by drawing a normal line at the point of incidence and measuring the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray.
The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, and both angles are measured with respect to the normal line at the point of incidence on a reflective surface.
Yes, the angle of reflection is always equal to the angle of incidence, regardless of the angle at which the incident ray strikes the reflective surface.
No, the angle of reflection can never be greater than the angle of incidence. It can only be equal to or less than the angle of incidence.
