Angle of Reflection
The angle at which a reflected ray of energy leaves a reflecting
surface, measured between the direction of the outgoing ray and
a perpendicular to the surface at the point of reflection. Compare
angle of incidence.
In some cases involving radio waves,
the angle of reflection is measured relative to the surface.
