i) Copy the diagram and mark arrows to show the path of the ray of light after it is reflected from the mirror.

ii) Name the principle you have used to mark the arrow to show the direction of the ray. 

Solution

i) The direction of the ray of light is as shown below:
 
ii) The principle of reversibility of light.
