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 a = 11.7 cm from the wall. The reflected beam strikes the wall at a height b = 34.7 cm above the surface of the mirror. Find the angle of incidence 0, at which the laser beam strikes the mirror. 0, =

In an experiment to monitor the Moon’s surface with a light beam, pulsed radiation from a ruby laser (wave = 0.69 mm) was directed to the Moon through a reflecting telescope with a mirror radius of 1.3 m. A reflector on the Moon behaved like a circular flat mirror with radius 10 cm, reflecting the light directly back toward the telescope on Earth.The reflected light was then detected after being brought to a focus by this telescope. Approximately what fraction of the original light energy was picked up by the detector? Assume that for each direction of travel all the energy is in the central diffraction peak.

MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER PRACTICE ANOTHER A mirror hangs 1.80 m above the floor on a vertical wall. A ray of sunlight, reflected off the mirror, forms a spot on the floor 1.07 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?
