A ray of light along \(x + \sqrt 3 y = \sqrt 3 \) gets reflected upon reaching \(x- \) axis , the equation of the reflected ray is 

  1. A \(\;y = x + \sqrt 3 \)
  2. B \(\;\sqrt 3 y = x - \sqrt 3 \)
  3. C \(\;y = \sqrt 3 x - \sqrt 3 \)
  4. D \(\;\sqrt 3 y = x - 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\;\sqrt 3 y = x - \sqrt 3 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Take any point \(\mathrm{B}(0,1)\) on given line. Equation of \(\mathrm{AB}^{\prime}\) is \( y-0=\frac{-1-0}{0-\sqrt{3}}(x-\sqrt{3}) \) \( \Rightarrow -\sqrt{3} y=-x+\sqrt{3}\) \( \Rightarrow x-\sqrt{3} y=\sqrt{3} \) \( \Rightarrow \sqrt{3} y=x-\sqrt{3} \)
