Light of wavelength 5000 Å falls on a plane reflecting surface. What are the wavelength and frequency of the reflected light? For what angle of incidence is the reflected ray normal to the incident ray?
Solution:
In the reflected light the wavelength and frequency remain the same as that of incident light. Wavelength of reflected light = 5000 Å, frequency of reflected light c = f λ f = = = 6 × Hz when reflected ray is normal to incident ray, ∠i + ∠r = 90° 2∠i = 90° (∴ ∠i = ∠r) ∠i = 45° For an angle of incidence 45° the reflected ray is normal to incident ray.
