Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
When light is reflected back from a surface, the incident angle equals the reflected angle, where both angles are calculated from the path of the light to the normal to the surface at the point where the light strikes the surface. The law of reflection refers to this equality. When the incident ray strikes a point on a plane mirror, i.e., the normal, the ray of light is reflected back in the same way, i.e., the reflected ray. As a result, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
