Solution

The correct options are
A
The incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface of the mirror all lie in the same plane.

B
The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence

C
The incident ray and reflected ray are on the opposite sides of the normal.

Laws of reflection states that

$i$ The incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface of the mirror all lie in the same plane.

$i i$ The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence and the incident ray and reflected ray are on the opposite sides of the normal.

Statement 1 : Angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection.

Which of the statements refer to the laws of reflection?

The laws of reflection state that the incident ray, reflected ray and the normal to the surface of mirror lie in different planes.

Suppose you have a plane mirror that reflects light. When light strikes the mirror, the light is reflected off the surface. The law of reflection says that:

Statement 1: The angle of incidence (incoming ray) is equal to the angle of reflection (outgoing ray).

Statement 2: The angle is measured from a perpendicular line to the surface called as Normal.

Statement 3: Incident ray, reflected ray and the normal does not lie in the same plane.

Statement 4: The law works for the plane as well as for curved surfaces.
