A ray of light is incident along a line which meets another line 7x−y+1=07x - y + 1 = 0 at the point \left(0, 1\right).Therayisthenreflectedfromthispointalongtheline. The ray is then reflected from this point along the liney + 2x = 1$. Then the equation of the line of incidence of the ray of light is :A ray of light is incident along a line which meets another line 7x - y + 1 = 0 at the point (0, 1) . The ray is then

Options

  1. A41x−25y+25=041x - 25y + 25 = 0
  2. B41x+25y−25=041x + 25y - 25 = 0
  3. C41x−38y+38=041x - 38y + 38 = 0
  4. D41x+38y−38=041x + 38y - 38 = 0

Correct answer

C. 41x−38y+38=041x - 38y + 38 = 0

Step-by-step solution

A ray of light is incident along a line which meets another line 7x - y + 1 = 0 at the point (0, 1) . The ray is then

Let slope of incident ray be m.m .

∴∴ angle of incidence = angle of reflection

∴∴ \left|\dfrac{m - 7}{1 + 7m}\right| = \left|\dfrac{- 2 - 7}{1 - 14}\right| = \dfrac{9}{13}<br/><br/><br /><br />⇒ \dfrac{m - 7}{1 + 7m} = \dfrac{9}{13}or\dfrac{m - 7}{1 + 7m} = - \dfrac{9}{13}<br/><br/><br /><br />⇒ 13m - 91 = 9 + 63m,or, or13m - 91 = - 9 - 63m<br/><br/><br /><br />⇒ m = -2ororm = \dfrac{41}{38}<br/><br/><br /><br />⇒ y - 1 = \dfrac{41}{38}\left(x - 0\right)<br/><br/><br /><br />⇒ 38y - 38 - 41x = 0
