As i looked at this picture i realized that there was reflection on the left side. The light from my cameras flash bounces off jamies face, hits the window, & goes back to my camera, so its in the picture. Jamie's image is on the other side of the window at the same distance away from the mirror as she is. If she were to turn around so she could see the window where she appears, she would see the camera and not her reflection (if you can see someone in the mirror they can see you too). The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. So if i were to draw a line representing the light from jamie to the window where her reflection appears that would be the angle of incidence (the angle between the normal line and the light ray). The light reflects to the camera at the exact same angle. This is the angle of reflection. (this is a pretty bad picture of me. Dont tease, it was after prom so my makeup got messed up & the flash blinded me).
