A ray of sunlight hits the mirror at an angle of theta subscript i space equals 37 to the power of owith the normal to the surface of the mirror. at what angle would the mirror reflect the sunlight?

Respuesta :

The mirror would reflect the sunlight at an angle with the normal to the surface of the mirror. So, the correct option is (c).

When a rectilinear light beam contacts a surface, it is referred to as an incident ray at that location (surface). The angle of incidence is the angle formed by this beam and the normal or perpendicular to the surface. The incident beam was reflected. After striking the reflecting surface, the beam is said to have been "reflected" in the same medium.

From the laws of reflection, we know that

∠i=∠r

where i is the angle of incidence

r is the angle of reflection

Given,

∠i=37°

⇒∠r=∠i=37°

Therefore, mirror would reflect the sunlight at an angle with the normal to the surface of the mirror.

The complete question is : A ray of sunlight hits the mirror at an angle of 37 with the normal to the surface of the mirror. At what angle would the mirror reflect the sunlight?

A.Along the surface of the mirror.

B.Perpendicular to the mirror.

C.At an angle of with the normal to the surface of the mirror.

D.At an angle of with the surface of the mirror.
