Incident ray approaching two perpendicular mirrors.
Incident ray approaching two perpendicular mirrors.
Two flat, planar mirrors are joined at a right angle (\(90^\circ\)). A ray of monochromatic light traveling in the plane of the page is incident on the horizontal mirror at an angle \(\theta\) relative to the surface normal, where \(0^\circ < \theta < 90^\circ\), and subsequently reflects toward the vertical mirror. Which of the following diagrams correctly represents the complete path of the light ray and its reflections off both mirrors?
