MCQ
The angle between an incident ray and the plane mirror is $30^\circ.$ The total angle between the incident ray and reflected ray will be:
  • A
    $30^\circ$
     
  • B
    $60^\circ$
     
  • C
    $90^\circ$
     
  • $120^\circ$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$120^\circ$
Since, angle of incidence $=90^{\circ}-$ angle between plane mirror and incident ray $=90^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=60^{\circ}$ and according to first law of reflection, angle of incidence $=$ angle of reflection $=60^{\circ}$
Total angle between incident ray and reflected ray $=60^{\circ}+60^{\circ}=120^{\circ}$
