A ray of light along gets reflected upon reaching -axis, the equation of the reflected rays is:

  1. A
    \sqrt{3}y = x - \sqrt{3}
  2. B
    y = \sqrt{3}x - \sqrt{3}
  3. C
    \sqrt{3}y = x - 1
  4. D
    y = x + \sqrt{3}

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Find the point of incidence on the -axis (put ): .2. Slope of incident ray: .3. When a line reflects off the -axis, the slope changes sign: .4. Equation of reflected ray through with slope :
