Q28.A light ray is incident, at an incident angle θ1 , on the system of two plane mirrors M1 and M2 having an inclination angle 75° between them (as shown in figure). After reflecting from mirror M1 it gets reflected back by the mirror M2 with an angle of reflection 30° . The total deviation of the ray will be _____ degree.
What This Question Tests
This question involves using the laws of reflection and geometry to trace a ray through two inclined mirrors and calculate the total deviation.
Concepts Tested
Formulas Used
Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
Deviation = 360° - 2θ (for two reflections)

9.6 — A Prism Is Made Of Glass Of Unknown Refractive Index. A Parallel
Physics Class 12 · Chapter 9
9.6 A prism is made of glass of unknown refractive index. A parallel beam of light is incident on a face of the prism. The angle of minimum deviation is measured to be 40°. What is the refractive index of the material of the prism? The refracting angle of the prism is 60°. If the prism is placed in water (refractive index 1.33), predict the new angle of minimum deviation of a parallel beam of light.
