kush03 said:Two plane mirrors are inclined to each other at an angle. If a ray of light incident on the first mirror is parallel to second mirror, is reflected from the second mirror parallel to the first mirror then what is the angle between the two mirrors.
please help me solve it.
To calculate the angle between two inclined plane mirrors, you will need to use the law of reflection and the law of refraction. First, draw a diagram of the two mirrors and the incoming ray of light. Then, use the law of reflection to determine the angle of reflection for the first mirror. Next, use the law of refraction to calculate the angle of refraction as the light passes through the first mirror and onto the second mirror. Finally, use the law of reflection again to determine the angle between the two mirrors.
The angle of incidence is the angle at which an incoming ray of light strikes a surface, while the angle of reflection is the angle at which the reflected ray of light bounces off the surface. These angles are always equal according to the law of reflection.
To measure the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection, you will need a protractor. Place the protractor on the surface where the light is hitting and align it with the incoming ray of light. Then, read the angle measurement where the second side of the protractor intersects with the surface. This will give you the angle of incidence. Repeat the process for the reflected ray to find the angle of reflection.
No, the angle between two inclined plane mirrors can never be greater than 90 degrees. This is because the law of reflection states that the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are always equal, and these angles cannot be greater than 90 degrees.
The angle between two inclined plane mirrors determines the direction and path of light as it reflects off the surfaces. As the angle between the mirrors increases, the reflected ray of light will become more parallel to the incoming ray of light. If the angle between the mirrors is 90 degrees, the reflected ray will bounce straight back along the same path as the incoming ray.
