  2. B
    7070^\circ
  3. C
    5555^\circ
  4. D
    145145^\circ

Cevap

The angle of deviation of the reflected ray is 110110^\circ.
The angle of deviation dd represents the angle through which a ray of light is turned from its original path. For a plane mirror, d=1802id = 180^\circ - 2i. Substituting i=35i = 35^\circ yields d=18070=110d = 180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the given angle of incidence
i=35i = 35^\circ
The angle of incidence is measured relative to the normal line.
2
Apply the law of reflection
Angle of reflection r=i=35r = i = 35^\circ
The angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.
3
Calculate the angle of deviation
d=180(i+r)=1802(35)=110d = 180^\circ - (i + r) = 180^\circ - 2(35^\circ) = 110^\circ
The angle of deviation measures how much the light ray is turned from its original initial straight path.
