Example #1 Follow-Up Homework Assignment, Multiple Reflections The two figures shown are equilateral, regular, polygons with mirrored internal surfaces except for one open side. A ray of light enters the open side as shown, reflects off the internal mirrored surfaces, and eventually leaves back through the open side. For the figure below, calculate the angle at which the light ray leaves the figure (with respect to the dashed line) after multiple successive reflections. Sketch the ray's path and show how each internal angle is calculated. 45°
