Question
According to the second law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Mark verified this fact by drawing the incident and the reflected rays. He also measured the angles made by the same incident and reflected rays with the reflecting surface (denoted as 1 and 2, respectively). Which of the following is true about the result that he might have got?
- 1 > 2
- 1 < 2
- 1 = 2
- Any of the above
Hint:
For the angles that have incident ray '1' and reflected ray '2', the law of reflection can be explained as 1=2.
The correct answer is: 1 = 2
- The second law of reflection says that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of the incident.
- The angles between the incident ray and normal and the reflected ray and normal are considered as angles of incidence and reflection respectively.
- When the incident ray is denoted as 1 and the reflected ray is considered as 2, the 1=2 according to the law of reflection.
