When the mirror is rotated, the normal will turn as well, but will the incident Ray and reflected ray turn?

Physics

When a mirror is rotated . . .

-- The incident ray doesn't turn.  It's just the line from the source to the mirror. 
It would be there, in the same place, even if there was no mirror.

-- The normal turns.  It's the line perpendicular to the mirror, so it must turn
with the mirror.

-- Since the normal tuns and the incident ray doesn't, the angle between them
must change.  And since the angle of the reflected ray is equal to the angle of
the incident ray, the reflected ray must also turn.

According to the concept of length contraction, what happens to the length of an object as it approaches the speed of light and
lord [1]
When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion.
The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops.
The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.

Find the magnitude of the force that our planet's magnetic field exerts on this wire if it is oriented so that the current in it
laila [671]

Answer: F = 2.1 x 10^-4N

Explanation: Question is incomplete.

The complete question is; A straight, 2.5-m wire carries a typical household current of 1.5 A (in one direction) at a location where the earth’s magnetic field is 0.55 gauss from south to north. Find the magnitude and direction of the force that our planet’s magnetic field exerts on this wire if it is oriented so that the current in it is running (a) from west to east.

Given parameters; l = 2.5m, I = 1.5A, B = 0.55 guass = 0.55 x 10^-4 Tesla , theta = 90 (from West to East), F = ?

F = BILsin(theta)

F = 0.55 x 10^-4 x 1.5 x 2.5 x sin 90

F = 2.1 x 10^-4 N.

According to right hand rule, it's direction is upward.
