State and explain the laws of reflection of light at a plane surface with the help of a labelled ray diagram. Mark the angle of incidence and reflection clearly on the diagram, if the angle of reflection is 47.5 degrees what will be the angle of incidence?

The phenomenon of light reflection occurs when a light beam bounces back from a surface.

a) Incident ray: The beam of light that strikes the mirror.

b) Angle of incidence: The angle at which the incident ray strikes the surface.

c) Normal: The line that intersects the mirror at a right angle.

d) Reflected ray: The beam of light that returns from the mirror.
