Problem Statement

There are two semi-infinite plane mirrors inclined physically at a non-zero angle with inner surfaces being reflective. [*] Prove that all lines of incident/reflected rays are tangential to a particular circle for any given incident ray being incident on a reflective side. Assume that the incident ray lies on one of the normal planes to the mirrors.[/*] [*] Try to guess the radius of circle by the parameters you can observe. [/*]
