A point source of light`S` is placed in front of two large mirros as shown .Which of the following observes will see only one image of S?

A

Only A

B

Only C

C

Both A and C

D

Both B and C

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Hence we can see from the images velocity in mirror `1` & `II^(nd) v_(12) = 2 "vsin"beta`
