Q. Two plane mirors PQ and QR are kept perpendicular (at 90°) to each other. The incident beam AB falls on one mirror PQ at an angle of 20° to the mirror. Complete the diagram to show the path of the reflected ray.

Light shows staged with lasers use moving mirrors to swing beams and create colorful effects. The light ray reflected from a mirror changes direction by θ when the mirror is rotated by an angle θ.
