What is the maximum angle of deviation possible for a ray incident on a plane mirror ?

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student ,
The angle of deviation is , d = 180⁰ - 2i , where i is the angle of incidence .
Now when the angle of incidence is zero then the angle o deviation is maximum .
So the maximum angle of deviation is 180⁰ .
