A mirror is inclined at an angle of `theta` with the horizontal. If a ray of light is incident at an angle in incidence `theta` then the reflected ray will make the angle with horizontal, is

A

`theta`

B

`2 theta`

C

`2 theta`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
From the figure, It is clear that reflected ray is parallel to horizontal.

`therefore " " theta = 0^(@)` (which is not an option)
Hence , option (d) is correct.
