Question

Consider the case in which light ray A is incident on mirror 1, as shown in the figure. The reflected ray is incident on mirror 2 and subsequently reflected as ray B. Let the angle of incidence (with respect to the normal) on mirror 1 be theta A = -55degree and the point of incidence be located 20 cm from the edge of contact between the two mirrors. What is the angle of the reflection of ray B (with respect to the normal) on mirror 2? Answer in units of 0 Determine the angle between the rays A and B. 0 degree 110 degree 180 degree 35 degree 90 degree 55 degree 70 degree

Explanation / Answer

theta A = 55 So theta B = 90 - theta A = 35 So angle between then = 180
