Question

A ray of light is reflected by two parallel mirrors (1) and (2) at points A and B. The ray
makes an angle of 30° with the a parallel line between the two mirrors. Calculate for (a)
the angle of reflection at the point of incidence A; (b) the angle of reflection at the
point of incidence B (c) the apporxinatenumber of reflections made by the two mirrors
if the distance between the two mirrors id d = 4 cm and the length L of the two mirror
system is 3 meters, (d) In a real system, at each reflection, there are losses of the light
energy travelling between the two mirrors. If L and d are fixed, what can be done to
decrease the number of reflections on the mirrors and hence the energy lost by
reflection?
