Light — practice question

Fig. 10.1 displays two mirrors set at right angles to one another. A ray of light falls on mirror A, and it is then reflected towards mirror B.
(a)[1]

Find the angle of incidence of the ray at mirror A.

(b(i))[2]

The ray is reflected again from mirror B. On Fig. 10.1, extend the ray’s path. Show where the reflected ray is and the normal to mirror B.

(b(ii))[1]

On Fig. 10.1, use the letter $r$ to show the angle of reflection from mirror B.

(c)[1]

State the law that you used to finish the ray diagram.
