Equation of line in Straight lines
Question

A beam of light is sent along the line xy=1, which after refracting from the x-axis enters the opposite side by turning through 300 towards the normal at the point of incidence on the x-axis. Then the equation of the refracted ray is 

Moderate
Solution

 

From the figure, the refracted ray make an angle of 150 with the positive direction of the x-axis and passes through the point 1,0. Its equation is 

y0=tan150x1

or y=23x1
