To solve the problem of determining the direction of the reflected ray when a light ray is incident normally on a plane mirror, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Normal Incidence**: - When a light ray is said to be incident normally on a plane mirror, it means that the light ray strikes the mirror at a right angle (90 degrees) to the surface of the mirror. 2. **Identifying the Angle of Incidence**: ...
