Question

two flat mirrors are connected to each other such that they make an angle of ψ. a laser enters the system and first reflects off the bottom mirror, then the top mirror. when the beam exits it makes an angle of θ

Answer 1

The angle is 53.5 degrees.

What is a flat mirror?

A plane mirror is a mirror with a flat (planar) reflective surface. For light rays striking a plane mirror, the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.

This ques have been solved in two steps:

Step 1:

given that;

Θ=107 degrees

from figure,

∠BAC=180-ψ-(90-φ)

∠BAC= 90-ψ-φ

∠AOC=180-2(ψ-φ)-2φ

∠AOC=180-2φ

Step 2: part(a)

writing an expression for the psi at point o:

Θ+180-2ψ=180

2ψ=Θ

ψ=Θ/2

above is the expression for ψ

Step 3: part(b)

The angle of ψ is,

ψ=Θ/2

ψ=107/2

ψ=53.5 degrees

Hence, the angle is 53.5 degrees.
