 The Question

The diagram depicts light reflecting off a planar surface. If angle A is a 25 degree angle, then the angle of reflection is ____ degrees.

 Physics Rules
The Law of Reflection:
When a ray of light reflects off a surface, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. The incident ray and reflected ray are always located within the same plane.
 Define Help
Definition of Angle of Incidence:
The angle of incidence is the angle made by the ray of light approaching a surface (incident ray) and the normal line drawn to the surface at the location where the ray contacts the surface.
 

Definition of Angle of Reflection:
