Before going to answer this question first we have to understand reflection and laws of reflection.
Reflection is the optical phenomenon in which light will bounce back to the same medium from which it had originated .
Whenever a light ray will incident on a mirror or any reflecting surface, it will be reflected. The ray which falls on the reflecting surface is called incident ray and the ray which is reflected is called reflected ray.
Let us consider a normal to the point of incidence.The angle made by incident ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as[ i ]
The angle made by the reflected ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as [r]
There are two types of reflection.One is called regular and other one is called as irregular.The laws of reflection is valid for both the types of reflection.
There are two laws of reflection.
FIRST LAW -It states that the incident ray,reflected ray and the normal to the point of incidence,all lie in one plane.
SECOND LAW- It states that that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection irrespective of the type of reflection.i.e i =r
Hence the correct answer will be angle of reflection.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of movement description, specifically those that allow us to find speed and acceleration as a function of distance and not time.
Mathematically we have to
Where,
Final velocity and Initial velocity
a = Acceleration
x = Displacement
From the description given there is no final speed (since it reaches the maximum point) but there is a required initial speed that is contingent on traveling a certain distance under the effects of gravity
Therefore the speed which must a rock thrown straight up is 14*10^2m/s to reach the edge of our atmosphere.
The displacement and gravity traveled are the same, therefore the final speed will be the same but in the opposite vector direction (towards the earth), that is
