Answer 1

Question :

A ray falls on the surface of plane mirror and makes an angle of 44° with it. what is the angle of incidence and reflection.

Concept :

● Angle of incidence is always measured from the normal to the mirror.

● Angle of incidence = angle of reflection

Solution :

Since the incident rays makes 44° with the mirror.

Angle of incidence = 90 - 44

$\tt \implies$ Angle of incidence = 46°

Angle of incidence = 56°

We know that

Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection

$\tt \implies$ Angle of reflection = 46°

Angle of reflection = 46°
