  4. 30 degrees

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A beam of light strikes a plane mirror at an angle of 45 degrees. What is the angle of reflection?
  • Step 1: Identify the angle at which the light beam strikes the mirror. In this case, it is 45 degrees.
  • Step 2: Understand the law of reflection, which states that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.
  • Step 3: Since the angle of incidence is 45 degrees, the angle of reflection will also be 45 degrees.
  • Law of Reflection – The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence when light strikes a reflective surface.
