    A source of light lies on the angle bisector of two plane mirrors inclined at angle \[\theta \]. The values of \[\theta \], so that the light reflected from one mirror does not reach the other mirror will be

    A) \[\theta \ge \text{12}0{}^\circ \]                             

    B) \[\theta \ge \text{9}0{}^\circ \]

    C) \[\theta \le \text{12}0{}^\circ \]                               

    D) None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    For the given condition, no successive reflection takes place. So, the number of images will be\[n\le 2\] \[n-1\le 2\] \[n\le 3\] \[\frac{{{360}^{\circ }}}{\theta }\le 3\] \[120\le 3\] \[\theta \ge {{120}^{\circ }}\]
