A ray of light is incident on a plane mirror along a vector $\hat i+\hat j-\hat k$. The noemal on incident point is along $\hat i+\hat j$. Then unit vector along the reflected ray is:
- $ \dfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \left( \hat { i } +\hat { j } +\hat { k } \right)$
- $-\dfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \left( \hat { i } +\hat { j } +\hat { k } \right)$
- $ \dfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \left( -\hat { i } -\hat { j } +\hat { k } \right)$
- $ \dfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \left( -\hat { i } +\hat { j } +\hat { k }\right)$
