Problem

A periscope uses two identical plane mirrors, each inclined at 45∘45^{\circ} to the horizontal. A ray of light travels horizontally towards the first mirror. After two successive reflections, the emergent ray will move (a) vertically downward. (b) at 45∘45^{\circ} to the horizontal. (c) horizontally, parallel to the incident ray but displaced. (d) horizontally, opposite to the incident direction.
