full test 3 D

A line passing through A(2,2,4) and parallel to line
L ≡(x-2)=(y-1)=(z-2)/3
is incident of the
mirror plane x+2y+2z-5=0.
The equation of the reflected ray is

a) (x-1)=(y-1)/3=(1-z) b) (x-1)=(y-1)/-3=(z-1)
c) x=(2-y)=z d) x=(y+2)/3=z

I got the point of incidence and image of the point and found the equation....(it was d i think)
but the point is regardless of whether the answer was d or not....
the "i" component of the direction vectors of the incident and reflected rays remains same.
how?????

i meant that direction of normal has to be direction of change of direction (i dont think its a typing mistake)

so please tell me where i am doing wrong .......

dcs of line are(1,1,3) and for the plane the normal,s dcs are(1,2,2)...

did u notice that "i" component is same therefore there wont be any direction change in

that dirction.(as in case of normal incidence all components are same so there is no chane of d.cs)

first maTCH THE DIREC. COSINES OF 1.THE LINE AND 2.THE PLANES NORMAL.

OK.

THEN THE MATCHING PART WONT CHANGE THE DIRECTION.

aisa kyon bhai plane agar x axis ke || hoga toh normal toh x axis ke _|_ hoga

haan bhai isiliye toh har post mein normal ke baaare mein hi likhe hain....

when a light ray falls on a mirror..

does it component in the horizontal direction change?

only the vertical component becomes negative..

doesnt it?

Philip Calvert ·

yes.....

but i was trying to point that the direction of normal to the mirror...

will be the change in the two vectors.....

i know i messed up some small part of it..... that is why i am asking.....

[2][17]

wont it be like a collision b/w wall and ball..

YES PHILIP UR THINKING IS PERFECT

U CAN ALSO FIND THESE TYPE OF QUESTION UN OPTICS (LIKE LIGHT RAYS)
