When a particle reflects elastically from a smooth surface, the component of the particle’s momentum parallel to the surface is conserved while the component of the particle’s momentum perpendicular to the surface is reversed. Use this information to argue that Newton’s particle theory of light is consistent with the observation that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
