The figure below shows light reflecting off two mirrors (M1 and M2) that are at right angles to each other. Also shown are the angles of incidence (?1i and ?2i) and reflection (?1r and ?2r) for light reflected off both mirrors. (a) Determine the angle the incident ray makes with M1 (the angle marked ? in the diagram) in terms of other angles given. ? = ?2r ?1i ?1r ?/2 - ?2i ?/2 - ?2r (b) Determine the orientation of the final reflected ray relative to the incoming ray. the two rays diverge the two rays converge the two rays are parallel to each other
