Solution

The correct option is C
Statements 3 and 4 are correct

First law of reflection states that the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the reflecting interface at the point of incidence all lie in the same plane.Also, according to the second law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Q. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct for reflection of light?

Statement 1: Angle of incidence is greater than the angle of reflection.

Statement 2: Angle of incidence is less than the angle of reflection.

Statement 3: Angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Statement 4: The incident ray, the normal at point of incidence and the reflected ray all lie in the same plane.

Suppose you have a plane mirror that reflects light. When light strikes the mirror, the light is reflected off the surface. The law of reflection says that:

Statement 1: The angle of incidence (incoming ray) is equal to the angle of reflection (outgoing ray).

Statement 2: The angle is measured from a perpendicular line to the surface called as Normal.

Statement 3: Incident ray, reflected ray and the normal does not lie in the same plane.

Statement 4: The law works for the plane as well as for curved surfaces.

Q. According to the laws of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This statement:

(a) Draw a diagram to show the reflection of light from a plane mirror.Label the following on the diagram:

(a) Plane mirror (b) Incident ray (c) Reflected ray

(d) Point of incidence (e) Normal (f) Angle of incidence

Q. Law of reflection states that when a light ray is incident on a reflecting surface then angle of incidence (i) = Angle of reflection (r). If incident ray is given by

[\frac{^i}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}^j]

& reflected ray is given by

[\frac{^i}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}^j],

then angle of incidence is :-
