The figure below shows an overhead view of a room of square floor area and side L. At the center of the room is a mirror set in a vertical plane and rotating on a vertical shaft at angular speed ω about an axis coming out of the page. A bright red laser beam enters from the center point on one wall of the room and strikes the mirror. As the mirror rotates, the reflected laser beam creates a red spot sweeping across the walls of the room.   (a) When the spot of light on the wall is at distance x from point O, what is its speed? (Use the following as necessary: ω, x, and L.)    (b) What value of x corresponds to the minimum value for the speed?(c) What is the minimum value for the speed? (Use the following as necessary: ω, x, and L.)   (d) What is the maximum speed of the spot on the wall? (Use the following as necessary: ω, x, and L.)   (e) In what time interval does the spot change from its minimum to its maximum speed? (Use the following as necessary: ω, x, and L.)
The drawing shows a ray of light traveling from point A to point B, a distance of 7.80 m in a material than has an index of refraction n1. At point B, the light encounters a different substance whose index of refraction is n2 = 1.63. The light strikes the interface at the critical angle of Thetac = 49.2°. How much time does it take for the light to travel from A to B?
The drawing shows a rectangular block of glass (n = 1.52) surrounded by a liquid with n = 1.59. A ray of light is incident on the glass at point A with a 30.0° angle of incidence. At what angle does the ray leave the glass at point B? Number i Units 30.0 A B
