The law of reflection states that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence ???????? = ???????? A bouncing ball obeys the “law of reflection,” which says that the ball leaves the surface at the same angle it approached the surface. The ball’s next bounce is 3.0 m to the right of its first bounce.
