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
1 answer:
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.

In the opposite figure, the work done by the force F to push the box upwards from the ground to the top of the inclined plane is 600 J.Option c is correct.
<h3>What is work done?</h3>Work done is defined as the product of applied force and the distance through which the body is displaced on which the force is applied.
The displacement value from the triangle is;
The work done is found as ;
The force F in the opposing figure does 600 J of effort to lift the box from the ground to the top of the inclined plane.
Hence option c is correct.
