The angle between the reflected ray and the reflecting surface is 19 degrees. The angle of reflection is ___ degrees.

The correct answer is: 71

• The angle between the reflecting surface and the reflected ray is 19 degrees.
• The angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal.
• Here, the angle of reflection = The angle of normal - The angle between the surface and reflected ray.
• The angle of normal and reflecting surface = 90^o
• The angle of reflection= 90^o- 19^o= 71^o.
• So the angle of reflection is 71^o.
