The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Terms**: The question asks for the angle between the incident ray and the normal ray. We need to define what the incident ray and the normal ray are. 2. **Identifying the Rays**: The incident ray is the ray of light that strikes a surface. The normal ray is an imaginary line that is perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence. 3. **Defining the Angle**: The angle formed between the incident ray and the normal ray is what we need to identify. 4. **Naming the Angle**: This angle is specifically referred to as the "angle of incidence." 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the angle between the incident ray and the normal ray is called the angle of incidence. **Final Answer**: The angle between the incident ray and normal ray is called the angle of **incidence**. ---
