A ray of light strikes a smooth surface and is reflected. The angle of incidence is 35 degrees What can be predicted about the angle of reflection?

The law of reflection states that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence, with both angles measured from the normal to the surface. Since the angle of incidence is 35 degrees, the angle of reflection is also 35 degrees. Therefore, the correct choice is A: the angle of reflection will be 35 degrees.
