Concept explainers

Applications Of Reflection Of Light

When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.

Sign Convention for Mirrors

A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.

Question

A ray of light is incident on a plane mirror and the angle of reflection is 79 degrees. What is the angle between
the incident ray and the reflected ray?
O a. 40 degrees
O b. 79 degrees
O c. 101 degrees
O d. 158 degrees
