The Law of REFLECTION


The Law of Reflection states that- " the
angle of incidence (incoming ray) equals the
angle of reflection (outgoing ray)"

The law works for FLAT,


PLANE surfaces only.
The angles are measured
from a perpendicular line
to the surface called a
NORMAL.

History

Euclid wrote 'Optica' around 300BC, in which he


studied the properties of light
He put forward the idea that light travels in
straight lines, described the laws of reflection and
studied the mathematics of them.

He was a Greek
mathematician.
