A Gerund/ Gerund Phrase is a verb form that acts like a noun and ALWAYS ends in -ing.   Hint:  Replace the gerund with "this thing," or, "that thing" to test your answer.

A participle / participle phrase is a verb that functions in a sentence as an adjective. It described nouns and pronouns.  
Present -> ends in -ing
Past ->    ends in - ed
Irregular -> various endings

Infinitive / infinitive phrases is a verb form preceded by the word "to" 

Don't confuse with the preposition "to"   
  
                              Infinitive = to + verb 
                             Preposition = to + noun or pronoun
sometimes the "to" is dropped. 

I hope this helped. Of course, this is the 11th-grade versions of English. Also, if you have any other questions let me know :)

Answer:

Incidence.

Explanation:

A plane mirror is a type of mirror that is typically made of ordinary glass and has a flat reflecting surface.

Reflection can be defined as a phenomenon which typically involves a change in the direction of a ray of light or waves as it falls on a smooth surface.

Simply stated, reflection occurs when a ray of light or wavefronts bounces off a smooth surface such as a plane mirror.

Generally, the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence when a light ray strikes or hits a plane mirror. This is known as the law of reflection.

The properties or characteristics of the images formed by a plane mirror include;

I. They are virtual and erect (upright).

II. It is the same size as the object formed.

III. It has the same distance from the plane mirror as the distance of the object from the mirror.
