Reflection & Mirrors

When one light ray is reflected from a plane mirror with 30∘30^\circ angle of reflection, the angle of deviation of the ray after reflection is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Angle of incidence = angle of reflection =30∘= 30^\circ.
  2. Deviation δ=180∘−2i=180∘−60∘=120∘\delta = 180^\circ - 2i = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ
  3. So the answer is (c) 120∘120^\circ.
