Question

Consider a room ten units long in the x,y and z directions. Specifically, the walls of the room are the four planes, x=0, x=10,y=0 y=10, and the floor and ceiling are z=0 and z=10, respectively. A flat triangular mirror is mounted in on of the corners of the ceiling. the corners of the mirror are at locations (10,9,10),(10,10,9) and (9,10,10). You are sitting at location (5,0,0) playing with your new green laser pointer. (a) If you aim the laser pointer directly at the corner of the room with coordinates (10,10,10), determine the coordinates where the beam will hit the walls or floor of the room . (Hint: an incoming ray of light, and the surface normal where the ray hits the surface, form a plane. the reflected ray is in the same plane. Also, the angle between the incoming ray and the normal is the same as the angle between the normal and the reflected ray.)
