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

A

`y/(2x)`

B

`y/x`

C

`x/(2y)`

D

`x/y`
