Law of reflection -

1)    Incident ray, reflected rays and normal at the point of incidence lie in the same plane.

2)    Angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.

- wherein

L_{i}= L_{r}

 

x+2(90-\theta )+\theta =180

                x=\theta

y+2(90-\theta )+\theta =180

=>y=\theta

from \: \: \Delta ABC

3\theta =180

=>\theta =60^{\circ}


Option 1)

60^{\circ}

Option 2)

90^{\circ}

Option 3)

45^{\circ}

Option 4)

75^{\circ}
