A laser beam is incident on a mirror at an angle of 30∘ , as shown in (Figure 1). It reflects off the mirror and strikes a wall at point P . The wall is 5.5 m away from the mirror. Figure1 of 1 The figure shows the laser beam, which reflects from the vertical mirror at the left t to the vertical wall at the right, which the beam strikes at point P. The rotated by 10 degrees counterclockwise mirror is shown, too. Point of incident of the laser beam on the mirror doesn’t change before and after the rotation of the mirror. Part A By what distance does the laser spot on the wall move if the mirror is rotated by 10∘ ?
