Problem

A ray of light is incident on a plane mirror at an angle of 40∘40^{\circ} with the normal. The mirror is then rotated by 10∘10^{\circ} about an axis perpendicular to its surface, the incident ray remaining fixed. What is the new angle of incidence? (a) 30∘30^{\circ} (b) 60∘60^{\circ} (c) 40∘40^{\circ} (d) 50∘50^{\circ}
