What is the angle of incidence of a ray ...

What is the angle of incidence of a ray if the reflected ray is at an angle of `90^@` to the incident ray?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`anglei + angler = 90^(@)`
`anlgei = angler`
` 2 anglei = 90^(@)`

`anglei=(90^(@))/(2)=45^(@)` , The angle of indcidence = `45^(@)`
