$in the image above, an incident ray XY makes an angle of 15$ ^{\circ} $ with a fixed line AY which is normal to surface of a plane mirror if the mirroe is turned as indicated by the arrow through $ 40^{\circ} $ what angle will the reflected ray make with AY$

in the image above, an incident ray XY makes an angle of 15$ ^{\circ} $ with a fixed line AY which is normal to surface of a plane mirror if the mirroe is turned as indicated by the arrow through $ 40^{\circ} $ what angle will the reflected ray make with AY

$ 25^{\circ} $

$ 40^{\circ} $

$ 15^{\circ} $

$ 55^{\circ} $

$ 95^{\circ} $

View answer & explanation

Correct answer is E

incident ray = XY

incidence angle i = 15$ ^{\circ} $

rotation angle θ = 40º

angle that the reflected ray make with AY = i + 2θ

= 15 + [2 * 40] = 15 + 80 = 95º
