Through what angle does the reflected ray rotate

Reference no: EM13652209

A ray of light strikes a plane mirror at a 45° angle of incidence. The mirror is then rotated by 23° in the clockwise direction, while the incident ray is kept fixed. (a) Through what angle does the reflected ray rotate? (b) What is the answer to part (a) if the angle of incidence is 51° instead of 45°?
