    The collapsed answer of Penchalreddy Badepalli is correct. The composition of two reflections via two mirror making an angle / alpha is equivalent to a single rotation by an angle 2/alpha, hence 2 * 60 deg = 120 deg. And turns is independent of the absolute orientation of the two mirrors in space and/or the direction of incidence of the incoming ray.

    One could use elementary geometry to prove this (if you presume the direction of incidence is irrelevant imagine hitting the first mirror at 90 deg, then going retro right back along the normal to the first mirror, and follow the directions).
