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.

The diagram illustrates a light ray originating from the floor of a small room, making an angle ϕ= 37° with the floor. The ray reflects from a vertical mirror that is a horizontal distance d= 1.1 m from the source, as shown. If the horizontal distance between opposing vertical walls is w= 4.7 m, how high h on the wall opposing the mirror does the ray strike?
As shown in the figure, the angle between two plane mirrors (M1 and M2) is 125°. If the incident ray strikes mirror M1 with an angle of incidence ?1i = 57°, determine the angle of reflection ?2r for mirror M2.
As shown below, the eyes of a giraffe are a distance H1 = 5.56 m above the ground and a distance L1 = 3.7 m in front of a vertical plane mirror (green in the diagram - ignore its thickness). The bottom edge of the mirror is a distance H2 = 1.77 m above the floor. The distance L2 is the closest point on the floor that the giraffe can see in the mirror. The red lines are the path that light rays from that closest point take to get to the giraffe's eyes. Determine L2. L2 =
A physicist directs a laser beam through a transparent medium, toward one surface of an equilateral prism. (The beam travels, and remains in, the plane of the page.) Incident on Surface 1 at an angle ?1, the beam then encounters Surface 2 from within the prism. If the angle of incidence at Surface 2 equals ?c , the critical angle for this prism, what is the original incidence angle, ?1 (in degrees)? The critical angle in this case is ?c = 40.5°. 40.5° 40.5° A prism in the shape of an equilateral triangle is shown. The triangle is upside down such that the base of the triangle is at the top of the figure and the apex is at the bottom. A laser beam comes in from the top left, moves down and to the right and is incident on the center of the base of the triangle. This surface is labeled Surface 1. The incident beam makes an angle of ?1 with the vertical. Within the prism, the beam continues to move down and to the right but at a slope which is steeper than the initial beam. It is incident…
