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 \(\sqrt{3} \mathrm{y}=\mathrm{x}-\sqrt{3}\)
  3. C \(y=\sqrt{3} x-\sqrt{3}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{3} y=x-1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt{3} \mathrm{y}=\mathrm{x}-\sqrt{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{A} \equiv(\sqrt{3}, 0)\) Let, B \((0,1)\) \(\therefore \mathrm{B}^{\prime} \equiv(0,-1)\) \(\therefore\) Equation of \(\mathrm{AB}^{\prime}: \frac{\mathrm{y}-0}{0+1}=\frac{\mathrm{x}-\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}-0} \Rightarrow \sqrt{3} \mathrm{y}=\mathrm{x}-\sqrt{3}\)
