Which of these best describes the relationship between the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal for a curved mirror?(1 point)
Responses

The angle that the incident ray makes with the normal is the same as the angle that the reflected ray makes with the normal. All points on a curved mirror have the same normal.

The angle that the incident ray makes with the normal is the same as the angle that the reflected ray makes with the normal. Different points on a curved mirror have a different normal.

"The angle that the incident ray makes with the normal is the same as the angle that the reflected ray makes with the normal. Different points on a curved mirror have a different normal."

Reason: Reflection follows the law of reflection (angle of incidence = angle of reflection). For a curved mirror the surface orientation changes point to point, so the normal (perpendicular) is different at different points.
