**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Reflection**: When light rays hit a mirror, they reflect off the surface according to the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. 2. **Incident Ray on First Mirror**: Consider a scenario where a light ray strikes the first mirror. This ray is called the incident ray. It reflects off the first mirror, creating a reflected ray. 3. **Reflected Ray Incident on Second Mirror**: The reflected ray from the first mirror can then travel towards a second mirror. When this reflected ray strikes the second mirror, it becomes an incident ray on this second mirror. ...

By what angle the mirror must be rotated such that the reflected ray becomes vertical. Let the light ray incident on the plane mirror with an angle of incidence theta with respect to horizontal

A light ray incident on a plane mirror gets reflected from it. Another plane mirror is placed such that the reflected ray from the first mirror is incident on it If the reflected ray from the second mirror travels perpendicular to the indecent ray on the first mirror, determine the angle between two plane mirrors.

The mirrors are perpendicular to each other as shown in the Fig. A light ray AB is incident on the mirror M_(1) . Then the reflected ray will also suffer a reflection from the mirror M_(2)) . Then the final ray after reflection from M_(2) will be parallel to the incident ray, if -

Which one of the following is the correct angle between the incident and reflected rays when a ray of light incident normally on a plane mirror?

Draw the reflected ray when ray the incident ray were to pass through focus of the mirror.

A ray of light is incident on a plane mirror, making an angle 'q' with the surface of the mirror. Arrange the following steps in sequential order to calculate the angle between the incident light ray and the reflected light ray. (A) Draw a normal line on the plane mirror at the point of incidence of the light ray. (B) Note down the angle between the plane mirror and the incident light ray. (C) The sum of the angle of incidence and the angle between the plane mirror and the incident ray is 90^(@) .Determine the angle of incidence. (D) From the laws of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Then the sum of the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection gives the angle between the incident light ray and the reflected light ray.
