Answer:

Correct Answer: 4. (d)

Solution:

  1. The given condition is shown in the figure given below, where two plane mirror inclined to each other such that a ray of light incident on the first mirror (M1) and parallel to the second mirror (M2) is finally reflected from second mirror ( M2 ) parallel to the first mirror.

where, PQ= incident ray parallel to the mirrorM2, QR= reflected ray from the mirror M1, RS= reflected ray from the mirror M2 which is parallel to the M1 and θ=angle between M1 and M2.

According to geometry,

PAS=PQM1=θ( angle on same line )

AQN1= angle of incident =90θ

N1QR= angle of reflection =(90θ).

Therefore, for triangle ORQ, (according to geometry)

θ+θ+ORQ=180ORQ=1802θ

For normal N2,

angle of incident = angle of reflection

=2θ90

Therefore, for the triangle RAQ

4θ180+1802θ+θ=1803θ=180θ=60
