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:
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
When a mirror is rotated by an angle , the reflected ray rotates by an angle .The linear displacement on the scale is .For a small angle ..
