Consider a mirror lying along the x-axis in R2. A laser starts at the point (−2, 6) and is fired in the direction of ⟨4, −3⟩. The beam travels until it hits the mirror, where it reflects off the mirror and then travels until it hits a wall on the line x = 20. (a) Give a parametrization for the initial path of the laser. (b) At what point does this beam hit the mirror? (c) Give a parametrization for the path of the reflected beam. (d) At what point does this beam hit the wall?
A ray of light is directed toward the surface of a block of zircon at an angle of 47.0° with respect to the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface at the spot where the ray hits the block). Part of the light is reflected and the rest refracted. What is the angle (in degrees) between the reflected and refracted rays?
