Problem 25.1.01
A light ray strikes a plane mirror lying flat on a horizontal floor, making an angle of incidence of O; = 64.2º. After reflecting from the mirror, the ray makes a spot on a vertical wall. The wall is a horizontal distance d = 1.08 m from the point of reflection, as shown. How high from the floor is the spot on the wall? (Neglect the thickness of the mirror.)
Homework Answers
BY the law of reflection
Angle of reflection = angle of incidence
= 64.2o
angle that the lower makes with the horizontal = 90 - 64.2 = 25.8o
tan 25.8 = h/d
h = d tan 25.8
= 1.08*tan 25.8
= 0.522 m

How high from the floor is the spot on the wall?
A light ray strikes a plane mirror lying flat on a horizontal floor, making an angle of incidence = 61.8°. After reflecting from the mirror, the ray makes a spot on a vertical wall. The wall is a horizontal distance d=1.08 m from the point of reflection, as shown. How high from the floor is the spot on the wall? (Neglect the thickness of the mirror.)

A ray from a laser strikes a horizontal mirror and strikes a vertical surface next to the mirror. The incident and reflected rays are in a plane perpendicular to the horizontal surface. The ray strikes the horizontal mirror 11.9 cm from the vertical surface and the reflected ray strikes the vertical surface 30.9 cm above the mirror. What is the initial angle of incidence?

You lay a mirror flat on the floor with one edge against a wall and aim a laser at the mirror. The ray reflects from the mirror and strikes the wall. The plane of the incident and reflected rays is perpendicular to the wall. The ray from the laser strikes the mirror 36.1 cm from the wall, and the reflected ray strikes the wall 34.5 cm above the mirror. Find the angle of incidence of the laser ray on the mirror. theta_i...

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 adjacent 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 17.9cm from the wall. The reflected beam strikes the wall at a height 37.3 above the surface of the mirror. Find the angle of incidence at which the laser...

As shown in the figure, the angle between two plane mirrors (M1 and M2) is 125°. If the incident ray strikes mirror M1 with an angle of incidence ?1i = 56°, determine the angle of reflection ?2r for mirror M2.

A mirror hangs 1.75 m above the floor on a vertical wall. A ray of sunlight, reflected off the mirror, forms a spot on the floor 1.14 m from the wall. Later in the day, the spot has moved to a point 2.50 m from the wall. (a) What is the change in the angle of elevation of the Sun, between the two observations? ° (b) What time of day were these observations made? morning afternoon

Sunlight enters a room at an angle of 32 ? above the horizontal and reflects from a small mirror lying flat on the floor. The reflected light forms a spot on a wall that is 2.0 m behind the mirror, as shown in the figure(Figure 1) . If you now place a pencil under the edge of the mirror nearer the wall, tilting it upward by 5.0 ? , how much higher on the wall (?y) is the spot? ?y=_________cm
