Absorption of Light

Two plane mir...

Question

Two plane mirrors are inclined to each other at an angle of $70^{\circ}$ as shown in figure. A ray of light PO incident at some angle $i$ on the mirror $M_{1}$ falls on the other mirror $M_{2}$ after reflection, and also becomes parallel to the plane mirror $M_{1}$ after another reflection. Find the value of $i$ .

Solution

As the final reflected ray is parallel to mirror $M_{1}$ hence, $θ = 70^{\circ} (Correcponding angles) I n Δ A C O 70^{\circ} + 70^{\circ} + i = 180 140 + i = 180 \Rightarrow i = 180 - 140 = 40^{\circ} i = 40^{\circ}$
