Define the following term
Reflected ray
How many times is a ray of light reflected by two plane mirrors placed parallel and facing each other?
The angle between incident ray and reflected ray is 60°. What is the value of angle of incidence? Given that, angle of incidence + angle of reflection = 60°.
Assertion (A): A ray incident along normal to the mirror retraces its path.
Reason (R): In reflection, the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection.
