A ray of light is incident on a plane mirror at an angle of30°. At what angle with the horizontal must a plane mirror be placed so that the reflected ray becomes vertically upwards?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:



When a light ray falls on a mirror at an angle30°, then the reflected ray will make the same angle with the plans as shown in Figure (i)

In order to make the reflected ray vertical, the mirror should be rotated at an angle of60°,

So, the mirror should be tilted by602=30°as shown in Figure. (ii)
