Given equation of the line is,
x+√3y=√3 …… (1)
y=1−x√3
Slope of the incident ray is −1√3.
Therefore, slope of the reflected ray will be 1√3 and the point of incident will be (√3,0−).
Therefore, equation of the reflected ray will be,
y−0=1√3(x−√3)
√3y=x−√3
Comparing this equation with the given equation, we have
⇒λ=3
Hence, this is the required
result.
