the angle of reflection - draw a line perpendicular to the mirror (this is called the "normal!), the angle between this & the incident ray of light will be equal to the angle between the reflected ray & the normal

(based on the assumption you're doing homework

Basically at an angle equally opposite to that it strikes the mirror surface. As per magicdice above.
Not quite the angle of incidence.
