Question

what is the rule stating that light, when bouncing off a smooth surface, reflects at the same angle it hit the surface? the law of reflection the law of thermodynamics newtons first law

Explanation:

The Law of Reflection states that when light reflects off a smooth surface, the angle of incidence (the angle at which the light hits the surface) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the light bounces off). The Law of Thermodynamics deals with heat and energy transfer, and Newton's First Law is about an object's motion (an object at rest stays at rest, an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by a force).

Answer:

The Law of Reflection
