If we turn the mirror by an angle of `20^(@)`, the reflected ray will turn through which angle ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of how much the reflected ray will turn when the mirror is turned by an angle of \(20^\circ\), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Setup**: - We have a mirror and an incident ray striking the mirror. - When the mirror is turned by an angle \(\theta\), the normal to the mirror surface also shifts by the same angle. ...
