Question
Explain the first law of reflection of light.
✓
Answer
According to Huygens' principle, reflection of light has been explained in this way :
Angle of incidence $\angle i=$ Angle of reflection $\angle r$. In this, the incident wave front, reflected wave front and normal all three lie in the same plane.
