Question

“Suppose a horizontal laser beam is reflected off a plane mirror that is perfectly smooth and flat. At first, the mirror is angled upward at 4 degrees, measured from the vertical. Then, the angle of the mirror is changed to 6 degrees upward. How would the angle formed by the incoming laser beam and the reflected laser beam change

    Answer:

    The angle in between changed from 8 to 12 degrees

    Explanation:

    Solution:-

    Angle between the incoming and reflected beam is always twice that of the inclination of the mirror.

    Initially, Inclination angle θ = 4 degrees

                 Angle between incident and reflected beam is twice of the inclination of mirror. Hence,

                Φ = 2*θ = 2*4 = 8 degrees.

    Change, Inclination angle θ = 6 degrees

                 Angle between incident and reflected beam is twice of the inclination of mirror. Hence,

                Φ = 2*θ = 2*6 = 12 degrees.

    – The angle formed by the incoming laser beam and the reflected laser beam will change from 8 degrees to 12 degrees.
