    The document discusses the law of reflection of light off plane mirrors. It defines an incident ray as the ray traveling toward the mirror, the reflected ray as the ray traveling away from the mirror, and the normal as the line drawn from the point of incidence. It states that the incident ray, normal, and reflected ray all lie in the same plane and that the angle of incidence plus the angle of reflection plus the angle of deviation equals 180 degrees. One application is rotating the mirror while keeping the incident ray constant, which results in an angle of incidence of 0 since the incident ray, normal, and reflected ray are in the same position.

    physics rayoptics reflection of light

    law of reflections
    incident rays: The ray which travels towards plane mirror is called as incident ray
    ; represented as I
    reflected ray: The ray which travels away from the plane mirror is called as
    reflected ray ; represented as R
    normal: when a line is drawn from the point of incidence it is called as
    normal;represented as n

    incident ray, normal,reflected ray lies in same plane


    I=R
    angle of deviation : γ
    Angle b/w the original direction of incident ray to reflected ray
    I+R+γ=180
    γ=180-2I

    apllication

    Rotating the mirror by keeping incident ray constant

    angle of incidence =0
    because the incident ray and normal and reflected ray are at same position
