Solution

Principle of reversibility:

  1. According to the principle of reversibility of light, the light follows the same path if the direction of travel is reversed.
  2. Reversing the direction of a light ray does not affect its attenuation during its passage through an optical medium due to reflection, refraction, and absorption, according to the principle of reversibility.
