In which plane do the incident ray, normal, and reflected ray lie?
ATwo separate planes
BPerpendicular planes
CIntersecting planes
DThe exact same plane
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. The exact same plane
The incident ray, reflected ray, and normal at the point of incidence are always coplanar.
