Answer» CORRECT choice is (a) Incident angle

The EXPLANATION: The angle being measured from a plane and which is EQUAL to angle between the beam of rays and NORMAL to the plane is called as incident angle. And it is denoted by Greek letter θ (Theta). The angle of incidence (θ) is the angle between the sun’s rays irradiated on a surface and the line normal to this surface.
