Question

A ray of light strikes a mirror with an angle of incident of 48º. Calculate: i) the angle of reflection and ii). the angle of deviation. please i really need help in answering this question if anyone answers i will mark you profile as brainliest

Answer 1

Answer:

I) angle of reflection = 48 degrees

II) angle of deviation = 0

Explanation:

Given that the:

angle of incident = 48º. 

According to law of reflection which state that the angle of incident is equal to the angle of reflection.

I.) Therefore,

angle of reflection = 48º. 

II.) There can only be deviation if the mirror has a diffused surface. But for a smooth plane mirror, there can never be any deviation.

Therefore ,

The angle of deviation = 0
