An incident ray strikes a plane mirror at an angle of 15^@ with the mirror. The angle between the incident ray and reflected ray is

A light ray is incident on a plane mirror making an angle of 45^(@) with respect to the surface of the mirror. The value of the angle between incident ray and reflected ray is ____ ""^(@)

A ray of light is incident on a plane mirror, making an angle 'q' with the surface of the mirror. Arrange the following steps in sequential order to calculate the angle between the incident light ray and the reflected light ray. (A) Draw a normal line on the plane mirror at the point of incidence of the light ray. (B) Note down the angle between the plane mirror and the incident light ray. (C) The sum of the angle of incidence and the angle between the plane mirror and the incident ray is 90^(@) .Determine the angle of incidence. (D) From the laws of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Then the sum of the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection gives the angle between the incident light ray and the reflected light ray.

A ray is incident at an angle 40^@ with a mirror. The angle between the normal and reflected ray is

A ray of light falls on a plane mirror. When the mirror is turned, about an axis at right angles to the plane of mirror by 20^(@) the angle between the incident ray and new reflected ray is 45^(@) . The angle between the incident ray and original reflected ray was therefore.

A ray of light falls on a plane mirror. When the mirror is turned, about an axis at right angle to the plane of the mirror through 20^(@) , the angle between the incident ray and new reflected ray is 45^(@) . Find the angle between the incident ray and original reflected ray.
