Chapter 36, Problem 21SP

A ray of light makes an angle of 25° with the normal to a plane mirror. If the mirror is turned through 6.0°, making the angle of incidence 31°, through what angle is the reflected ray rotated?

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
A ray of light hits a flat mirror with an incident angle of 19.03 degrees. What angle does it reflect at?
The angle that the light beam makes with the normal line is 50°.  But then, the mirror is tilted at an angle of 30° above the horizontal without changing the direction of the light beam. What is the angle of incidence in degrees?
Two light rays, originating from the same point, have an angle of 6.0° between them and reflect off a plane mirror. Determine the angle between the reflected rays.
