A light ray emerging from a point source at (A(2,3) ) is reflected on the (Y )-axis at point ' (B ) ' and passes through point (C(5,10) ), then the coordinates of ' (B ) ' are
Options
- A((5,0) )
- B((0,5) )
- C((0,2) )
- D((2,0) )
Correct answer
B. ((0,5) )
Step-by-step solution
Let point of reflection is ((0, y) ) then, by law of reflection, Angle of incidence (= ) Angle of reflection ( = (- ) ) As angles are measured in opposite directions. ( aligned & m₁=-m₂ & y-3 -2 = y-10 5 aligned ) ( array rrr & 5 y-15 & =-2 y+20 & 7 y & =35, y=5 array ) So, point is ((0,5) ).
