प्रश्न
The following diagram shows an incident ray AO and the normal ON on a plane mirror. Find the angle of incidence and angle of reflection.

उत्तर
ON is perpendicular on a plane mirror
Angle of incidence ∠i (∠AON) i.e.
Angle between incident ray and normal ray = 90° – 30° = 60°
Angle of Reflection = 60°
∴ ∠i = ∠r
∴ Angle between incident and reflected ray i.e. ∠AOB
= 60 + 60 = 120°
