Explanation:
If i be the angle of incidence, r be the angle of reflection,
δ=π−(π−2i−2r)
Hence, δ=2i+2r
Also, using the sum of angles of a triangle, i+r−θ=0
Thus, δ=2θ
Which means, that the deviation is independent of either the angle of incidence and also the angle of relection. It only depends on the angle between the mirrors
