Question
Chapter 34, Problem 4P

(a)

To determine

To show: The normal to the mirror makes an angle ϕ with the vertical if the mirror has rotated to make an angle ϕ with the horizontal.

(b)

To determine

To show: The reflected laser light makes an angle 2ϕ with the vertical.

(c)

To determine

The angle ϕ if the reflected laser light makes a spot on the floor 1.40cm away from the point vertically below the laser.
