Two plane mirrors are inclined at an angle of `60^@` as shown in Figure. A ray of light parallel to `M_(1)` strikes `M_(2)`. At what angle will the ray finally emerge?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The angle that the ray makes after each reflection is clearly labeled in the following figure. It is clear that final ray makes an angle of `60^@` with the horizontal, or in other words it emerges parallel to mirror 1.
