Question
Show an incident ray AO and the normal ON a plan mirror. draw the reflected ray and then find the angle between the incident and reflected rays.

Solution
Since the angle of incidence = 60°.
From the diagram, the Angle of reflection to the normal = angle of incidence to the normal = 60°.
So, the angle between the incident ray and reflected ray = Angle of incidence + Angle of reflection = 60° + 60° = 120°.

A burning candle in water
Take a shoe box, open on one side. Place a small lighted candle in it. Place a clear glass sheet (roughly 25 cm × 25 cm) in front of this candle figure. Try to locate the image of the candle behind the glass sheet. Place a glass of water at its position. Ask your friends to look at the image of the candle through the sheet of glass. Ensure that candle is not visible to your friends. Your friends will be surprised to see the candle burning in water. Try to explain the reason.
