Question
Figure shows an incident ray AO and the normal ON on a plane mirror. The angle which the incident ray AO makes with mirror is 30°. (a) Find the angle of incidence. (b) Draw the reflected ray and then find the angle between the incident and reflected rays.

Solution
(a) Angle of incidence = 90o - 30o = 60o
(b) Angle between the incident ray and reflected ray = Angle of incidence + Angle of reflection
Angle of reflection = Angle of incidence = 60o
Therefore, Angle between the incident ray and reflected ray = 60o + 60o = 120o
