(a) Derive an expression for unit vector along reflected ray (hat r) if unit vectors hat i and hat n represents unit vectors along incident light ray and normal (at point of reflection and outward from surface) respectively. (b) If vector along the incident ray on a mirror is -2 hat i+ 3 hat j + 4 hat k. Considering the x-axis to be along the normal. Then, find the unit vector along the reflected ray.

Answer»


SOLUTION :VECTOR ALONG the reflected ray
`rArr 2 HAT (i)+ 3 hat (j) + 4 hat (k)`
`:.` it's unit vector `= (2 hat(i)+3 hat(j)+4 hat(k))/(SQRT(29))`.
