Answer the following questions about reflection of light:
(i) Define "reflection of light" and "normal" at a point on a reflecting surface.
(ii) State the two laws of reflection.
(iii) Describe, with the help of a clearly labelled sketch, why the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal cannot be mutually skew (i.e., cannot occupy three different planes). Your explanation should rely solely on the geometrical laws stated in part (ii).
