Question

If a beam of parallel rays fall on a smooth reflecting surface, then the beam of reflected rays are:

• A. Parallel to incident rays.
• B. Parallel to each other.
• C. Inclined to each other.
• D. Perpendicular to each other.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Parallel to each other.

Parallel rays when incident on a smooth surface are reflected such that the reflected rays are also parallel to each other. This is termed as regular reflection.
