A light ray strikes a plane mirror at an angle of 23° to the normal. What is the angle between the reflected ray and the mirror?

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]67^{\circ}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

Ray of light incident on plane making an angle of [tex]23^{\circ}[/tex] with normal

Thus incident angle [tex]i=23^{\circ}[/tex]

So according to the law of incidence is equal to angle of reflection

[tex]\angle i=\angle r[/tex]

thus [tex]\angle r=23^{\circ}[/tex]

and angle between mirror and reflected ray [tex]=90^{\circ}-23^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]=67^{\circ}[/tex]
