A ray of light, travelling in the direction12i^+3 j^, is incident on a plane mirror. After reflection, it travels along the direction12i^-3 j^. The angle of incidence is

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

α= angle between vectors
cosα=12 i^+3 j^·12 i^-3 j^i^+3 j^i^-3 j^
= 1 4 1 - 3 1 × 1 = - 2 4 = - 1 2
α=120°=2π3
∴   π-α=2θ
π = 2 π 3 = 2 θ
θ=π3×2=π6=30°
