Question

A ray of light incident upon a mirror makes an angle of36o withthe mirror. What is the angle between the incident ray and thereflected ray? Answer in units of degrees.


As the angle made by the incident ray and the mirror is36o,therefore the angle of incidence of the light ray is
          90o -36o =54o and Im stuck from here A ray of light incident upon a mirror makes an angle of36o withthe mirror. What is the angle between the incident ray and thereflected ray? Answer in units of degrees.

Explanation / Answer

the law of reflection says the angle of incident must be equalto the angle of reflection    i=r the thing you were doing is not correct because the angle ofincident is already given to you and you were finding the anglebetween normal and ray so the angle of incidnet is equal to the angle of reflectionso 36+36=72 degree
