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

`theta lt 30^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) `n=360/(theta)`
Number of images `N=n,` which is odd `=n-1`
For the given condition,successive reflection takes place. So the number of images will be `Nle2`.
`n-1le2`
`nle3`
`360/(theta)le3`
`120le thetaimpliestheta ge 120^(@)`
