Problem

A plane mirror initially reflects a ray for which the angle of incidence is 35∘35^{\circ}. The mirror is then rotated through 8∘8^{\circ} about an axis in its own plane while the direction of the incident ray remains unchanged. What is the new angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray? (a) 78∘78^{\circ} (b) 86∘86^{\circ} (c) 70∘70^{\circ} (d) 94∘94^{\circ}
