Question

Angle of incidence is the angle between incident ray and the normal.
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Hint: Remind the law of reflection of the light from a plane surface.
This law gives the information about the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection of the light.

Complete step by step answer:
When a ray of light is incident on a plane surface, the light gets reflected from the same surface.
The perpendicular drawn at the point of incidence of the incident ray on the plane surface is called normal.
The angle between the incident ray and the normal to the surface is known as the angle of incidence.

So, the correct answer is “Option A”.

Additional Information:
The law that gives the information about the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection is known as the law of reflection of the light.
When a ray of light is incident on a plane surface, the angle made by the incident ray with the normal is the angle of incidence and the angle made by the reflected ray with the normal is the angle of reflection.
The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection for a ray of light is the same.

Note:
The normal is the perpendicular drawn to the surface on which the light is incident at the point of incidence of the light and not at any other point.
The perpendicular drawn at the point of incidence of the incident ray on the plane surface is called normal.
