Detailed explanation-1: -The law of reflection is the relationship between the angle of incidence and angle of reflection. The law of reflection applies to both partially reflected and totally reflected waves. Mirrors produce only virtual images. A virtual image is an image that appears in a location where light does not really reach.
Detailed explanation-2: -The law of reflection states that the angle between the incident ray and the normal is equal to the angle between the reflected ray and the normal. This law applies to regular, partial and diffuse reflection.
Detailed explanation-3: -The law of reflection governs the reflection of light-rays off smooth conducting surfaces, such as polished metal or metal-coated glass mirrors.
Detailed explanation-4: -Laws of reflection are valid for all kinds of reflection, be it regular or irregular.
Detailed explanation-5: -Regardless of the angle at which the wavefronts approach the barrier, one general law of reflection holds true: the waves will always reflect in such a way that the angle at which they approach the barrier equals the angle at which they reflect off the barrier. This is known as the law of reflection.
