Question

As the angle of incidence decreases, the angle made by the reflected ray with the normal _______.

  1. Decreases
  2. Remains the same
  3. Increases
  4. Changes irregularly

hintHint:

The sum of the glancing angle and incident angle is 90 degrees.

The correct answer is: Increases


    The angle between the incident ray and the mirror is called the glancing incidence angle.
    now,
    glancing incidence angle + incidence angle = 90 degrees
    Therefore, as the glancing incident angle increases, the incident angle decreases.
    Here the glancing angle is decreasing the incident angle will increase.
