Asked by yo pap
A ray of light strikes a smooth surface and is reflected. The angle of incidence is 35°.
What can be predicted about the angle of reflection?
Rays will bounce in all directions, so the angle of reflection will be random.
Rays will bounce in all directions, so the angle of reflection will be less than 35°.
Rays will follow the law of reflection, so the angle of reflection will be 35°.

Explanation: For a smooth surface, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection (measured from the normal), so a 35° incidence gives a 35° reflection.
