False, when light falls normally on a mirror, its angle of incidence is zero degree.
Correct Answer - Critical angle
D) total internal reflection
C) critical angle
Correct option is A) 0°
C) A + d = i1 + i2
Given: ng = 1.52, nw = 1.33 To find: Critical angle (ic) formula: sin ic = \(\frac{n_2}{n_1}=\frac{n_w}{n_g}\) Calculation: From formula, ic = sin-1 \((\frac{1.33}{1.52})\) = sin-1 (0.875) = 61 °2′
When a ray of light is incident on a plane mirror at an angle θ, the reflected ray gets deviated by an angle of (π – 2θ).
A) Pass through the focus
Correct option is A) 45°
Correct option is C) 0°
