Expert Answer:
Incident ray:

The angle made by the incident ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.
Reflected ray:
The ray which gets reflected after hitting the object is known as reflected ray.
The angle between a reflected ray and a line perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence is the angle of reflection.
