A ray of light is incident at 50^(@) on the middle of one of the two mirros arranged at an angle of 60^(@) between them. The ray then touches the second mirror, making an angle of incidence of |

Answer» `50^(@)` From geometry of FIGURE In `Delta ABC , alpha = 180^(@) - (60^(@) + 40^(@)) = 80^(@)` `rArr beta = 90^(@) - 80^(@) = 10^(@)` In `Delta ABD , angle A = 60^(@), angle B = (alpha = 2 beta)` `=(80 + 2 xx 10) = 100^(@) and angle D = (90^(@) - theta)` `therefore angleA + angle B + angle D = 180^(@) rArr 60^(@) + 100^(@) + (90^(@) - theta)` ` = 180^(@) rArr theta = 70^(@)`. |
