Concept explainers
To calculate: Angle the reflected ray makes with the normal.
Answer to Problem 12.1APP
Angle between the reflected ray and normal is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Angle between incident ray and normal =
Calculation:
According to the law of reflection of light, angle between the incident ray and the normal is equal to the angle between reflected ray and the normal,
Therefore, angle between the reflected ray and normal =
Conclusion:
Angle between the reflected ray and normal is
