Solution

I'm sorry, but as a text-based AI, I'm unable to draw diagrams or see the specific figure you're referring to. However, I can guide you on how to complete the ray diagram for the reflection of light from the surface of a plane mirror.

  1. Draw the Normal Line: The normal line is a line that is perpendicular (forms a 90-degree angle) to the mirror surface at the point where the incident ray strikes.

  2. Draw the Reflected Ray: The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This means that the reflected ray should be drawn at the same angle to the normal as the incident ray but on the opposite side of the normal line.

Remember, both the incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal line should all lie in the same plane.
