Step 1
We need to find the angle at which a laser beam should be aimed so that it hits a mirror and then strikes the midpoint of the opposite wall in a room. The room's dimensions are given as 3.40 meters in height and 5.20 meters in width. Show more…

At what angle $\phi$ should the laser beam in Figure $\mathrm{P} 18.62$ be aimed at the mirrored ceiling in order to hit the midpoint of the far wall?
A laser is mounted on a table $1.06 \mathrm{~m}$ above the ground, pointed at a vertical mirror a horizontal distance $3.50 \mathrm{~m}$ away. The laser beam strikes the mirror $1.62 \mathrm{~m}$ above the ground. Behind the laser is a wall, $2.80 \mathrm{~m}$ from the aperture where the laser light emerges. At what height does the reflected beam strike the wall?
