प्रश्न
A ray of light is incident normally on a plane mirror. What will be the:
- angle of incidence?
- angle of reflection?
Advertisements
उत्तर
- The angle of incidence is 0° because the incident ray is parallel to the normal.
- The angle of reflection is 0° in accordance with the first law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
