Question

Find the angle of deviation (clockwise)suffered by a ray incident on a plane mirror, at an angle of incidence 30&deg;.      Correct answer is '240'. Can you explain this answer?

Answer

δ ACW = 180° – 60°
= 120° Anticlockwise
δ CW = 180° + 60°
= 240° Clockwise

Answer

I think it's ans.  should be 120 degree

Answer

δ ACW = 180° – 60°
= 120° Anticlockwise
δ CW = 180° + 60°
= 240° Clockwise
