When the angle between incident ray and mirror is increased, the angle of reflection:
- A. will decrease
- B. will increase
- C. will remain constant
- D. will either increase or decrease
Step-by-step solution
The angle between the incident ray and the mirror is complementary to the angle of incidence. Increasing this angle decreases the angle of incidence. By the law of reflection, the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence, so it also decreases.
