Open in App

Solution

Angle of incidence is $30^{\circ}$ .

From the laws of reflection, angle of reflection = $30^{\circ}$

So, the reflected ray makes an angle of $90^{\circ} - 30^{\circ} = 60^{\circ}$ with the mirror surface.

A ray of light strikes a plane mirror such that its angle of incidence is 30∘. What angle does the reflected ray make with the mirror surface?

Angle of incidence is 30∘. From the laws of reflection, angle of reflection = 30∘ So, the reflected ray makes an angle of 90∘−30∘=60∘ with the mirror surface.
