A laser beam is reflected by a plane mirror. It is observed that the angle between the incident and reflected beams is 24∘ (24 degrees) If the mirror is now rotated so that the angle of incidence increases by 4.0∘ (4.0 degrees), what is the new angle between the incident and reflected beams? Express your answer as a whole number and in degrees.
