The two mirrors in the figure below meet at a right angle. The beam of light in the vertical plane P strikes mirror 1 at ?1 = 36.5° as shown. Two mirrors labeled Mirror 1 and Mirror 2 are placed at right angles to each other, such that Mirror 1 is placed horizontal and Mirror 2 is placed perpendicular to Mirror 1 on its left side. An incident ray of a light beam is shown to meet Mirror 1 at a distance of 1.25 m from the junction between the two mirrors. The incident ray makes an angle of ?1 with the normal, a dashed line drawn perpendicular to the horizontal mirror at the point of incidence. The normal and the incident ray lie in a plane P represented by a dashed square drawn around the normal and the incident ray, with the horizontal side of the square on the horizontal Mirror 1 and the vertical side on the vertical Mirror 2. The plane P is approximately perpendicular to both mirrors.
