A light wave travels through the air, passes through glass, and then travels back into the air.

• The light wave is refracted.

• The light wave is diffused.

• The light wave is diffused.

• The light wave is reflected.

When light reflects off a surface, what is the relationship between the angle of impact and the angle of reflection?

• The angle of impact is greater than the angle of reflection

• The angle of impact is less than the angle of reflection

• The angle of impact is equal to the angle of reflection

• There is no relationship between the angle of impact and the angle of reflection
