Light of wavelength `5000Å` falls on a plane reflecting surface. What are the wavelength and frequency of the reflected light? For what angle of incidence is the reflected ray normal to the incident ray?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`lamda=5xx10^(-7)m, c=3xx10^(8)ms^(-1)`
`:.` Frequencey `v=c/(lamda)=(3xx10^(8))/(5xx10^(-7))=6xx10^(14)Hz`
`i=r,i+r=90^(@):.2i=90^(@), i=45^(@)`
