shown in the figure below. The launching speed u is fixed but the launching angle θ is arbitrary.

The path of the light ray can be projected in the same direction by placing identical triangles
one after the other. For example after 1st reflection at point 1, ray would actually go to 2' but
we can place an adjacent triangle and say that ray would go straight to point 2. Similarly the
complete zig-zag actual path can be replaced by just a straight line path from A to B as shown.
