Answer:

5°  

Explanation:

Two diverging light rays, originating from the same point, have an angle of 5° between them.

According to laws of reflection the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

From the attached figure, it is clear that the after reflection from a plane mirror the angle between two rays will be 5°.

O be the originating point. m and n two diverging light rays. When they strikes at the plane mirror, the laws of reflection still fulfilled.

As a reference, consider the line from the point perpendicular to the mirror.
That direction is called 'normal' to the mirror.

The ray on the right leaves the point traveling 5° to the right of the normal,
and leaves the mirror on a path that's 10° to the right of the normal.

The ray on the left leaves the point traveling 5° to the left of the normal,
and leaves the mirror on a path that's 10° to the left of the normal.

The angle between the two rays after they leave the mirror is 20° .

Frankly, Charlotte, if there were more than 5 points available for this answer,
I'd seriously consider giving you a drawing too.

When reading the printout from a laser printer, you are actually looking at an array of tiny dots.

Answer:

The value is y  = 3.097 * 10^{-5} \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the pupil is d_p  =  4.2 \ mm  =  4.2 *10^{-3} \  m

The distance of the page from the eye d =  29 \  cm  =  0.29 \  m

The wavelength is \lambda  =  500 \ nm =  500 *10^{-9} \  m

The refractive index is n_r =  1.36

Generally the minimum separation of adjacent dots that can be resolved is mathematically represented as

y  = [ \frac{1.22 *  \lambda }{d_p * n_r } ]* d

         y  = [ \frac{1.22 *  500 *10^{-9} }{4.2 *10^{-3} * 1.36} ]* 0.29

         y  = 3.097 * 10^{-5} \  m
