Applications Of Reflection Of Light

When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.

Sign Convention for Mirrors

A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.

Question

The reflecting surfaces of two mirrors form a vertex with an angle of 130 ∘∘.

Part A: If a ray of light strikes mirror 1 with an angle of incidence of 51∘, find the angle of reflection of the ray when it leaves mirror 2.

Express your answer using two significant figures.
