Question
A ray of light makes an angle of $25^{\circ}$ with the normal to a plane mirror. If the mirror is turned through $6.0^{\circ}$, making the angle of incidence $31^{\circ}$, through what angle is the reflected ray rotated?
Step 1
Step 1: The initial angle of incidence and reflection is $25^{\circ}$ as per the law of reflection which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Show more…
