Generation

## Law of Reflection **The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection** (θᵢ = θᵣ), where both angles are measured from the normal (perpendicular line) to the surface. This law matters because it explains how mirrors form images and enables technologies like periscopes, telescopes, and fiber optics. It also describes why we can see objects—light reflects off surfaces predictably, allowing our eyes to detect them.
