Which of these best describes the relationship between the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal for a curved mirror? (1 point )
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 different than 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. All points on a curved mirror have the same normal.
The angle that the incident ray makes with the normal is different than 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 obeys the law of reflection (incidence angle = reflection angle), and a curved surface has a different perpendicular (normal) at each point.
