A ray of light travelling with a speed c leaves point 1 shown in figure and is reflected to point 2. The ray strikes the reflecting surface at a distance x from point 1. According to Fermat's principle of least time, among all possible paths between two points , the one actually taken by a ray of light is that for which the time taken is the least (In fact there are some cases in which the time taken by a ray is maximum rather than a minimum). Find the time for the ray to reach from point 1 to point 2.
