Ray optics
Question

If a ray of light is incident on a plane mirror ( placed along X axis ) and the unit vector of the incident ray is given by i^2-j^2, then find the angle of reflection

Easy
Solution

The given unit vector makes an angle of 450 with X and Y axis respectively. So taking the normal along Y axis, the angle of incidence will be 450, hence angle of reflection will also be 450
