perpendicular to the surface.) Record this in the table. Then measure the angle between the reflected ray and
the normal line. Put this result in the table too.
e. Repeat the procedure with all the other incident ray lines.
1. Using a protractor, complete the table by writing in the measurement of angle of incidence and angle of
reflection. Do this in your activity notebook or a separate sheet of paper.
