1. A beam of light bounces on a mirror at 26 degrees. A second mirror adjacent to the first mirror is raised 70 degrees. Find the following. a. In what angle the light beam will bounce from the first mirror? b. What is Oa? c. What is b? d. What is Oc? e. What is Oc in relation to the 1st mirror?
Answer (1)
To help solve this, we need to clarify the geometry of the situation based on the provided information.A light beam strikes the first mirror at an angle of 26° (likely with respect to the normal to the mirror).A second mirror is adjacent to the first mirror and is raised to 70°, possibly with respect to the horizontal or vertical.Let's break down the required parts step-by-step.a. In what angle will the light beam bounce from the first mirror?The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. Since the light strikes the first mirror at an angle of 26°, the angle at which the light will bounce off the first mirror is also 26°, measured relative to the normal (perpendicular) to the mirror.b. What is Oa?Oa might refer to a specific point or angle in the setup, but without further clarification on what Oa represents in this context (e.g., angle, distance, or position), it's hard to calculate it. Could you please provide more details?c. What is b?The variable 'b' is not defined in the problem. Like Oa, I need more context to calculate or explain what 'b' refers to. Could you clarify its meaning in the context?d. What is Oc?Oc is likely another point or angle in the geometry of the setup, but without further information, I can't determine what it refers to specifically. Could you describe the geometry or provide additional details?e. What is Oc in relation to the 1st mirror?Again, to determine this, I need more context about the location of Oc in relation to the first mirror. If Oc is an angle, it might depend on how the second mirror is positioned, or if it's a point, it could involve the path of the reflected light.
