Answer:

The angle of incidence is the angle formed by the incident ray and the perpendicular to the surface. Together, the angle of incidence and the angle the incident ray makes with the surface form a right angle (90 degrees). The angle of incidence is therefore given by the following expression:

Angle of incidence = 90 degrees - angle ray makes with the surface

In your example

Angle of incidence = 90 degrees - 40 degrees = 50 degrees

The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, which is also measured with respect to the perpendicular to the surface, so

Angle of reflection = Angle of incidence = 50 degrees.

UNO [17]

Answer:

Hello the options to your question is missing attached below are the missing options

  • Electrical forces are symmetrical, The electric repulsion of the Balloons is equal because electric forces between two objects are always symmetrical
  • The electric forces are equal in this case because both balloons had the same amount of electric charge

Answer :

Electrical forces are symmetrical, The electric repulsion of the Balloons is equal because electric forces between two objects are always symmetrical

Explanation:

The Balloons have the same amount of force exerted on them, because Electrical forces are symmetrical, The electric repulsion of the Balloons is equal because electric forces between two objects are always symmetrical, therefore the two Balloons are deflected to the same angle
