Question
A ray of light travels from a light source S to an observer after reflection from a plane mirror. If the source rotates in the clockwise direction by 10°, by what angle and in what direction the mirror should be rotated so that the light ray still strikes the deserver?
- 10° anticlockwise
- 10° clockwise
- 5° clockwise
- 5° anti clockwise
The correct answer is: 5° clockwise
