Expert Answer
Given that the two plane mirrors are inclined at angle 65°.
The ray of light is incidenting the first mirror at angle α ,and gets reflected by angle α , hence we can get that the angle B is 90-α .
This ray on striking the secong mirror undergoes a second reflection at an angle 45 - (α/2) [ i. e. (90- α) / 2 ].
From this we get that the angle C = 90 -[45 - (α/2) ]
Angle C = 45 + (α/2)
We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle = 180 °
angle A + angle B +angle C = 180 °
65° + (90- α ) + (45 + (α/2) ) =180 °
130 + 180 - 2α +90 +α =360
400 - α = 360
α = 40°
