Kyle lays a mirror flat on the floor and aims a laser at the mirror. The laser beam reflects off the mirror and strikes an adjac

ent wall. The plane of the incident and reflected beams is perpendicular to the wall. The beam from the laser strikes the mirror at a distance a=33.7 cm from the wall. The reflected beam strikes the wall at a height b=36.7 cm above the surface of the mirror. Find the angle of incidence θi at which the laser beam strikes the mirror.

Answer:

The angle of incidence is  \theta_i  =42.6^o

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are told that

   The distance between the mirror and the wall is  a = 33.7 cm

    The height of the above the mirror is  b = 36.7 cm

Generally the angle which the reflected ray make with the mirror is mathematically evaluated as

             \alpha  =tan ^{-1} (\frac{b}{a})

substituting values

             \alpha = tan ^{-1}( \frac{36.7}{33.7})

            \alpha =47.4^o

From the diagram we can deduce that  the angle of incidence is

             \theta_i  = 90 - \alpha

So          \theta_i = 90 - 47.4

              \theta_i  =42.6^o

What is the difference between a negative feedback system and a positive feedback system?
Anni [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The negative feedback is responsible for maintaining equilibrium (stability) in a system as it lessens effects, which is contrary to positive feedback which increases reaction and moves a system further away from equilibrium (stability), It does so by amplifying the effects of a product or event and occurs when something needs to happen quickly. e.g

  • Insulin lowers down blood sugar levels, so when the body detects that it has too much sugar, the pancreas is prompted to release insulin and only stops when balance is achieved; hence, negative feedback.  
  •  When there is a tear on the skin, a chemical is released. This chemical causes platelets in the blood to activate, hence they release a chemical which signals more platelets to activate, until the wound is clotted, positive feedback.
