Problem

Two plane mirrors M1M_1 and M2M_2 , placed at right angles, form two sides of a container. Mirror M1M_1 is inclined at an angle θ0\theta_0 to the horizontal. A light ray ABAB is incident normally on M1M_1 . Now the container is filled with a liquid of refractive index μ\mu so that the ray ABAB is first refracted, then reflected at M1M_1 . The ray is next reflected at M2M_2 and then comes out of the liquid surface making an angle θ\theta with the normal to the liquid surface. Find θ\theta .
