A reflecting surface is represented by the equation
`y = (2L)/(pi) sin ((pi x)/(L))`, where `0 le x le L`. A ray of light travelling horizontally becomes vertical after reflection with the surface. The co-ordinates of the point where this ray is incident is.

A

`((L)/(4), (sqrt2L)/(pi))`

B

`((L)/(3), (sqrt3L)/(pi))`

C

`((3L)/(4), (sqrt2L)/(pi))`

D

`((2L)/(3), (sqrt3L)/(pi))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`((dy)/(dx))_("tangent") = 2 cos (pi x)/(L)`
and tan `(90 + 45^(@)) = ((dy)/(dx))_("normal")`
`rArr x = (L)/(3), y = (sqrt3L)/(pi)`
