A light ray emerging from a point source at \(A(2,3)\) is reflected on the \(Y\)-axis at point ' \(B\) ' and passes through point \(C(5,10)\), then the coordinates of ' \(B\) ' are

  1. A \((5,0)\)
  2. B \((0,5)\)
  3. C \((0,2)\)
  4. D \((2,0)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((0,5)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let point of reflection is \((0, y)\) then, by law of reflection, Angle of incidence \(=\) Angle of reflection \(\Rightarrow \tan \theta=\tan (-\theta)\) \{As angles are measured in opposite directions.\}…
