For an independent study project, you design an experiment to measure the speed of light. You propose to bounce laser light off a mirror that is 46.5 km due east and have it detected by a light sensor that is 105 m due south of the laser. The first problem is to orient the mirror so that the laser light reflects off the mirror and into the light sensor.
(a) Determine the angle that the normal to the mirror should
make with respect to due west.
(b) Since you can read your protractor only so accurately, the
mirror is slightly misaligned and the actual angle between the
normal to the mirror and due west exceeds the desired amount by
0.004°. Determine how far south you need to move the light sensor
in order to detect the reflected laser light.

For an independent study project, you design an experiment to measure the speed of light. You propose to bounce laser light off a mirror that is 50.5 km due east and have it detected by a light sensor that is 133 m due south of the laser. The first problem is to orient the mirror so that the laser light reflects off the mirror and into the light sensor. (a) Determine the angle that the normal to the mirror should...
Part I: Background When a ray of light strikes a smooth surface, it can either reflect, such as with a mirror, or it can both reflect and refract, such as with glass. In this make-up lab activity, we shall look at both situations. This make-up lab shall try to replicate the lab from your lab manual as best possible. Be sure to read the "Discussion" in your regular lab manual. You will be using the Bending Light simulation. Part II:...
Question 8 You are conducting an experiment on the diffraction of light through a single narrow slit. You have situated your viewing screen a distance of 1 m away from the slit, with blue light of 450 nm and the slit width is 2.4um. You observe a normal interference pattern with a bright central maximum. What happens to the central maximum if you switch out the 2.4um single slit for a 4.8um single slit? No change occurs to the central...
please help with this!! all. if you dont know it, dont answer it ?. ASAP, ALL can you answer this. ASAP Part II: Procedures Step 1 When the sim opens, choose Intro. The window will open with a laser pointer, turned off and pointing down and to the right. A dashed line, representing the normal line, should be visible. If not, click the box next to "Normal" in the bottom left. Drag the protractor out of the tools box and...
