A light ray enters a black body(a hollow sphere with a hole).can we calculate the probability for which that the light ray would come out of the hole again

An attempt can be definitely made. But, we need the following info,
radius of sphere,
size and shape of hole,
angle at which the ray is incident.
Once we have these details, we can start of trying to find the probability. Once u enter the dragon (the problem), u find that there will be a large no of reflection taking place. No more can u handle the problem with ur pen and paper, u will need the computer to solve it.
So, u need a computer to solve the problem.
A well established theory is developed to solve such problems. U dont need that theory atleast now.
One very famous similar problem is as follows:
When Gandhi ji was shot, he said "Hey Ram!". During that time, few air molecules came out of his mouth. What is the probability that 3 of those air molecules are right now in ur lungs?
Doesn't the problem sound impressive???
