Two identical plane mirrors A and B are aligned parallel to each other, as shown in the figure below. The length of each mirror is L = 10/3 m. A light ray is incident at an angle of 30° at a point just inside one end of mirror A. The number of times the ray undergoes reflections (including the first time) before it emerges out is: L Mirror-B 0.3 m Mirror-A 30° 100 45 50 90 25

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 55.0 km due east and have it detected by a light sensor that is 123 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 0.005°. Determine how far south you need to move the light sensor in order to detect the reflected laser light. Additienel Meteriele
In the figure the laser beam strikes the first mirror M1 at a point 11.5 cm from the corner point (point of intersection of two mirrors). Calculate the approximate angle of incidence at which the ray strikes the second mirror, if it strikes at the midpoint of the second mirror (M2) 14.0 cm away from the corner point, after being reflected by the 1st mirror.
