Question

A ray light makes an angle of $10^{o}$ with the horizontal and strikes a plane mirror which is inclined at $25^{o}$ to horizontal. By what angles should the plane mirror be rotated so that the ray of light will be vertically reflected.

Open in App

Solution

The angle by which the plane mirror should be rotated is given by,

$= \frac{10 + 25}{2}$

$= \frac{35}{2}$

$= {17.5}^{\circ}$
