A light ray travelling parallel hit a surface of a planr mirror creates a 60 degree angle of incidence what is its angle of reflection

Sagot :

Answer: The angle of deviation in a plane mirror is calculated as δ=(180  

o

−2i)

In this case, the angle of deviation is given as 60  

o

.

Substituting in the above equation we get, 60  

o

=(180  

o

−2i).  

So, i=60  

o

 

According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.

Therefore, angle of incidence i = angle of reflection r = 60  

o
