Question
A ray of light strikes a plane mirror, such that the angle with the mirror is 20°. What is the value of angle of reflection? What is the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray?
Solution
∵ Light ray makes an angle of 20° with the mirror
∴ ∠ABM = 20°
Angle of incidence = ∠i = 90° – 20°
∠i = 70°
∵ ∠i = r ∴ ∠r = 70°
Angle between incident ray and reflected ray = ∠i + ∠r = 70°+ 70°= 140°
