Question

(a) Determine the distance the reflected lightbeam travels before striking mirror 2.
1 m

(b) In what direction does the light beam travel after beingreflected from mirror 2?
2° (above thehorizontal) The two mirrors in the figure below meet at a right angle. The beamof light in the vertical plane P strikes mirror 1 at = 47.5 degree as shown. (a) Determine the distance the reflected lightbeam travels before striking mirror 2. 1 m (b) In what direction does the light beam travel after beingreflected from mirror 2? 2 degree (above thehorizontal)

Explanation / Answer

(a)    using the geometry we get that    1.25 m = d sin47.5o    d = ......... m

(b)    the direction will be    42.5o above the horizontal or parallelto the incident ray
