Question
Two mirrors A and B are placed at right angles to each other as shown in the following figure.
A ray of light incident on mirror A at an angle of 25° falls on mirror B after reflection. The angle of reflection for the ray reflected from mirror B would be
Options
25°
50°
65°
115°

Solution
65°
Explanation:
Both the mirrors are inclined to each other at 90°. This means that the normal of both the mirrors will also be perpendicular to each other. We know that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Hence, the angle made by a reflected ray with normal is 25°.
Hence, x + 25° = 90°
x = 65°
