Answer:

5°

Explanation:

Two diverging light rays, originating from the same point, have an angle of 5° between them.

According to laws of reflection the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

From the attached figure, it is clear that the after reflection from a plane mirror the angle between two rays will be 5°.

O be the originating point. m and n two diverging light rays. When they strikes at the plane mirror, the laws of reflection still fulfilled.
