A ray of light is incident on a plane mirror placed horizontally. When the mirror is rotated through an angle `30^(@)` the reflected ray is found to be directed along the vertical. Determine the angle of incidence at the initial position of the mirror. |
Answer» (i) When a plane mirror is rotated through an angle `theta`, the reflected ray is rotated through 2`theta`. The initial angle of incidence `i_(1) = i_(2) + r_(2)` When `i_(2) and r_(2)` are the angle of incidence and angle of reflection after rotating the mirror. (ii) ` 60^(@)` |
