A mirror is turned through `15^(@)`. Through what angle will the reflected ray turn ?
Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To solve the problem of how much the reflected ray turns when a mirror is rotated through an angle of \(15^\circ\), we can follow these steps:
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understand the Relationship Between Mirror Rotation and Ray Deflection**:
- When a plane mirror is rotated through an angle \(\theta\), the angle of the reflected ray changes by \(2\theta\). This is a fundamental property of reflection in optics.
2. **Identify the Given Angle**:
