Question

How many reflected rays can there be for a given single incident ray falling on a plane mirror?

Solution

Every reflected ray has a unique incident ray. Therefore, the total number of incident rays is equal to the total number of reflected rays. Hence, there will be only one reflected ray for one incident ray.
