Detailed Solution

The two laws of reflection are: (1) The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, and (2) The incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal lie on the same plane.

Law 1: Angle of Incidence = Angle of Reflection

If a light ray strikes a mirror at an angle of 30°, it will reflect at 30°.

Law 2: Incident Ray, Normal, and Reflected Ray lie in Same Plane

All three lines are coplanar, meaning they are in the same flat surface.

Applications

  • Used in periscopes and mirrors.
  • Important in optical instruments like microscopes and telescopes.
  • Applies to smooth surfaces like mirrors.

These laws are universal and hold true for both plane and curved mirrors.
