You cannot. The rolling of a billiard ball and its reactions to the tabe and other balls is much more complex, as each contact affects not only angle of deflection, but rotational momentum as well. When a ball contacts another ball or a table rail, except for a dead head-on shot, the center of gravity being off center will induce a greater angle that would exist based simply on angle of reflection. In addition, there can be a "crush" on hard impact into a rail that reduces the angle rather than increasing the angle. This is a complex problem in physics and cannot be determined using simple rules for anything other than the simplest of billiard shots.

The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of refraction?

The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of REFLECTION. Refraction is an entirely different phenomenon and has its own law.


According to the Law of Reflection the angle of incidence the angle of reflection.?

According to the Law of Reflection, the angle of incidence (the angle between the incoming ray and the normal to the surface) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle between the reflected ray and the normal). This law applies to the reflection of light off a smooth surface.

Law of Reflection!


According to the law of reflection if the angle of incidence is 45 degrees what is the angle of reflection?

If the angle of incidence is 45 degrees, then the angle of reflection will also be 45 degrees. This is because the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection according to the law of reflection.
