A ray of light is incident at an angle of on one of the two mirrors kept at right angles to each other as shown below. The angle of reflection for the ray reflected from mirror is?

Describe an experiment to prove the laws of reflection of light.

Two plane mirrors are aligned parallel to each other, as shown in the figure. A light ray is incident at an angle of 30° at a point just inside one end of a mirror. The maximum number of times the ray undergoes reflection. before it emerges out is
