Reflection of Light by 2E3 Jocelyn Lee

After my group and I finished doing the project we has chosen to do( reflection of light), i have learnt how to build good team work with my group members.
I know understand and know more about the reflection of light through this project, such as the law of reflection.
The behavior of the light as it reflects would follow a predictable law known as the law of reflection. Diagrams are use to illustrates the law of reflection. An example of it is:

The ray of light which strikes on the surface is called the incident ray. The ray of light which leaves the surface is called the reflected ray. A line perpendicular to the surface is imagined at the point of reflection the line is called a normal. The angle between the incident ray and the normal is called the angle of incidence. The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is called the angle of reflection.

To summarize,THE ANGLE OF REFLECTION IS EQUAL TO THE ANGLE OF INCIDENCE.
