A light ray is incident, at an incident angle \(\theta_{1}\), on the system of two plane mirrors \(M_{1}\) and \(M_{2}\) having an inclination angle \(75^{\circ}\) between them (as shown in figure). After reflecting from mirror \(M_{1}\) it gets reflected back by the mirror \(M _{2}\) with an angle of reflection \(30^{\circ}\). The total deviation of the ray will be \(\dots\) degree.

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(210\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\delta_{total } = 360^o - 2\theta\)
\(=360^o - 2 \times 75^o\)
\(\theta_{total} = 210^o\)
\(\theta_1 = 45^o\)
\(\delta=120^{\circ}+90^{\circ}=210^{\circ}\)
