A beam of light from a source is incident normally on a plane mirror fixed at a certain distance from the source. The beam is reflected back as a spot on a scale placed just above the source . When the mirror is rotated through a small angle , the spot of the light is found to move through a distance on the scale. The angle is given by:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
