MCQ
A light beam is being reflected by using two mirrors, as in a periscope used in submarines. If one of the mirrors rotates by an angle $\theta$, the reflected light will deviate from its original path by the angle
  • $2 \theta$
  • B
    $0^{\circ}$
  • C
    $\theta$
  • D
    $4 \theta$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$2 \theta$
When a mirror is rotated by an angle $\theta$, the reflected ray deviate from its original path by angle $2 \theta$.
