A monochromatic beam of light enters a square enclosure with mirrored interior surface at an angle of incidence `theta I (ne 0)` (see the figure below). For some value (s) of `theta i`, the beam is reflected by every mirrored wall (other than the one with the opening ) exactly once and exits the enclosure through the same hole. which of the following statements about this beam is correct?

A

The beam will not come out of the enclosure for any value of `theta i`

B

The beam will coe out for more than two values of `theta i`

C

The beam will come out only at `theta i= 45^(@)`

D

The beam will come out for exactly two value of `theta i`
