Practicing Success
If incident ray MP and reflected ray QN are parallel to each other, find the angle θ between the mirrors. |
60° 45° 90° 180° |
90° |
The deviation produced by first mirror = $180 – 2i_1$ and the deviation produced by second mirror = $180 – 2i_2$. The total deviation is 180° as MP and QN are anti parallel So, $180° = 360° – 2(i_1 + i_2)$ $∴ i_1 + i_2 = θ = 90°$ |
