Answer 1

Answer:

a. normal

Explanation:

In the field of physics the normal is a line drawn at a right angle to a barrier. In other words the normal line is the line that is drawn perpendicular (right angle, 90 degrees) to the reflective surface of a mirror, or the particular boundary in which refraction occurs at the point of incidence of a light ray. This can be seen in the picture attached below.
