A ray of light is incident on a horizontal plane mirror at an angle of incidence 30o. By what angle should the mirror be rotated so that the reflected ray becomes horizontal?

Solution
According to question, i=300
And from laws of reflection r=i=300
And from figure θ=900−r=900−300
θ=600
And we know that if we rotate mirror by α then reflected ray will rotate by 2α. Hence if we rotate mirror by 300 then reflected ray will rotates by 600 to be horizontal.
