JEE Main 2022 · 26 Jun · Shift 1, Physics question 56

A light ray is incident, at an incident angle θ1\theta_1, on the system of two plane mirrors M1M_1 and M2M_2 having an inclination angle 75° between them (as shown in figure). After reflecting from mirror M1M_1 it gets reflected back by the mirror M2M_2 with an angle of reflection 30°. The total deviation of the ray will be ______ degree.

Two plane mirrors meeting at 75°: M2 horizontal at the bottom and M1 rising to the upper right; an incident ray comes from the right and strikes M1.
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 210

Two mirrors at angle θ\theta. After one reflection from each, the total deviation is 360°−2θ360°-2\theta.

Value. 360−150=210°360-150=210°.

Answer: 210
