Answer:

Rays will bounce back and stay parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The plane mirror reflects light according to the laws of reflection.

From that you know when a light ray reflects its incident angle is equal to the reflected angle. From that we know when a set of parallel rays get reflected by the mirror, the reflected rays will make the same angle with the mirror.

So rays will stay parallel to each other.
