A source of light lies on the angle bisector of two plane mirrors inclined at angle `theta`. The value of `theta`, so that the light reflected from one mirror does not reach the other mirror will be.

A

`theta ge 120^(@)`

B

`theta ge 90^(@)`

C

`theta le 120^(@)`

D

none of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

For the given question, no successive reflection can take place if the number of images will be `n le 2`. Hence, `n - 1 le 2` or `n le 3`
or `(360^(@))/(theta) le 3` or `120^(@) le theta` or `theta ge 120^(@)`
