From the figure, it is clear that reflected ray is parallel to horizontal <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/p-6d0pjbha4psj.png" /> ∴ θ =0°

Q. A mirror is inclined at an angle $θ$ with the horizontal. If a ray of light is incident on the mirror as shown in the figure, then the angle made by reflected ray with the horizontal is

$θ$

$2 θ$

$θ /2$

zero

From the figure, it is clear that reflected ray is parallel to horizontal

$∴ θ = 0^{\circ}$

Q. A mirror is inclined at an angle θ with the horizontal. If a ray of light is incident on the mirror as shown in the figure, then the angle made by reflected ray with the horizontal is

θ

2θ

θ/2

zero

From the figure, it is clear that reflected ray is parallel to horizontal ∴θ=0∘
