The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will apply the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information**: - The angle of incidence (I) on the plane mirror is given as \(30^\circ\). 2. **Recall the Law of Reflection**: - According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Mathematically, this can be expressed as: \[ \text{Angle of Incidence (I)} = \text{Angle of Reflection (R)} \] 3. **Apply the Law of Reflection**: - Since we know the angle of incidence is \(30^\circ\), we can substitute this value into the equation: \[ I = R \implies 30^\circ = R \] 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the angle of reflection (R) is also \(30^\circ\). ### Final Answer: The angle of reflection will be \(30^\circ\). ---
