| 1 | The normal line is a line at a right angle (90 degrees) to the surface of an object |
| 2 | Identifying the Incident ray and Reflected ray |
| 3 | The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are always between the normal line and the light ray |
| 4 | The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection |
