in the image above, an incident ray XY makes an angle of 15\( ^{\circ} \) with a fixed line AY, which is normal to surface of a plane mirror if the mirror is turned as indicated by the arrow through \( 40^{\circ} \), what angle will the reflected ray make with AY

a

\( 25^{\circ} \)

b

\( 40^{\circ} \)

c

\( 15^{\circ} \)

d

\( 55^{\circ} \)

e

\( 95^{\circ} \)

Angle of reflection when rotated is 2& that is 2&40 which is 80+15=95

The answer is 95°

Angle of reflection when reflected is 2@

:. R= (15x2) + (2x40)

R = 30 + 80

R = 110 degree

Recall, R=2@

@=R/2, where @= the angle between Reflected Ray and AY

@ = 110/2

:.@= 55degree

D is correct
😁💛😁
