Two plane mirrors are perpendicular to each other. A ray after suffering reflection from the two mirrors will be

  1. A perpendicular to the original ray
  2. B parallel to the original ray
  3. C parallel to the first mirror
  4. D at \(45^{\circ}\) to the original ray
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) parallel to the original ray

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here, angular deviation
\(
\begin{aligned}
\delta &=2 \pi-2 \theta \\
&=2 \pi-2 \times \frac{\pi}{2}=\pi
\end{aligned}
\)
Hence, final emergent ray is parallel to incident ray.
