An optically plane surface reflects a beam of light – (1) as a parallel beam in one direction (2) as diffused beams in all d rections (3) as parallel beams in all direactions (4) as a diffused beam in one direction
(1) as a parallel beam in one direction Explanation: An optically plane surface reflects a beam of light as a parallel beam in one direction. The set of incident rays are reflected as a set of rays. In other words, a beam of light is reflected as a beam of light if the mirror is plane and its reflecting surface is smooth. This type of reflection of a set of rays is called Specular Reflection.
