Sun rays are incident at an angle of `24^(@)` with the horizon. How can they be directed parallel to the horizon using a plane mirror?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Mirror should be placed on the path of the rays at and `/_` of `78^(@)` or `12^(@)` to the horizontal

`theta + 12^(@) = 90^(@) rArr theta = 78^(@)`
