alleryHow are three mirrors oriented to construct a simple corner retroreflector?
AParallel to each other
BAt forty-five degrees
CMutually perpendicular
DIn a continuous circle
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Mutually perpendicular
Placing three flat mirrors perpendicular to one another ensures reflected rays return along their arrival path.
