A ray of light reflects off of 2 mirrors that are perpendicular to each other. It hits the first mirror at an angle of 30° from perpendicular, 10 cm from the corner, calculate angle between the incoming and outgoing light.

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]180^{\circ}[/tex]

Explanation:

we know that angle of incidence from vertical is equal to angle of reflection from mirror.

incoming ray angle [tex]\theta =30^{\circ}[/tex]

Reflected ray angle [tex]\theta =30^{\circ}[/tex]

Now this ray will incident on another mirror with angle of incidence [tex]=60^{\circ}[/tex]

reflected ray angle [tex]=60^{\circ}[/tex]

now the outgoing ray is parallel to incoming rays

angle between them is [tex]180^{\circ}[/tex]
