You mean 180-135-40 = 5, right?kspex2 said:
When a light ray hits the point where two mirrors meet at a 135 degree angle, it will reflect off of both mirrors and continue in the same direction it came from.
Yes, the angle of reflection will be equal to the angle of incidence when a light ray hits the point where two mirrors meet at a 135 degree angle. This is known as the law of reflection.
The direction of the reflected light ray will be determined by the angle of the two mirrors. In this case, the angle of the two mirrors is 135 degrees, so the reflected light ray will continue in the opposite direction at a 135 degree angle from the incident ray.
No, the two mirrors will not create a perfect reflection at the point where they meet. Due to imperfections in the mirrors and the angle of the two mirrors, there will be some distortion in the reflected image.
The angle of the two mirrors will determine the number of reflections that occur. In this case, the angle of the two mirrors is 135 degrees, so the light ray will reflect off of both mirrors once, resulting in two reflections. If the angle were different, the number of reflections would also be different.
