When mirror is rotated through an angle theta , a reflected ray from it moves through an angle of

Show that a ray of light reflected from a plane mirror rotates througha an angle 2theta when the mirror is rotated through an angle theta about its axis perpendicular to both the incident ray and the normal to the surface.

A small angled prism of apex angle A=4^@ and refractive index mu=1.5 is placed in front of a vertical plane mirror as shown in figure. If the mirror is rotated through an angle theta, then the light ray becomes horizontal either after the mirror or after second time passing from the prism in opposite direction. The value theta is

For a fixed incident light ray, if the mirror be rotated through and angle theta (about an axis which lies in the plane of mirror and perpendicular to the plane of incidence), show that the reflected ray turns through an angle 2 theta in same sense.

A wheel is subjected to uniform angular acceleration about its axis with its angular velocity is zero . In the first two seconds , it rotates through an angle theta _(1) and in the next two seconds , it rotates through an angle theta _(2) then the ratio of theta_(2)//theta_(1)

A beam of light from a source L is incident normally on a plane mirror 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 mirror 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 wheel is subjected to uniform angular acceleration about its axis. Initially, its angular velocity is zero. In the first 2 sec , it rotates through an angle theta_(1) , in the next 2 sec , it rotates through an angle theta_(2) . The ratio of theta_(2)//theta_(1) is

A wheel initially at rest, is rotated with a uniform angular acceleration. The wheel rotates through an angle theta_(1) in the first one second and through an additional angle theta_(2) in the next one second. The ratio theta_(1)//theta_(2) is:

A wheel initially at rest, is rotated with a uniform angular acceleration. The wheel rotates through an angle theta_(1) in first one second and through an additional angle theta_(2) in the next one second. The ratio theta_(2)//theta_(1) is :

A dip needle lies initially in the magnetic merdian when it shows an angle of dip theta at a place. The dip circle is rotated through an angle x in the horizontal plane and then it shows an angle of dip theta^(') . Then tantheta^(')/tantheta is
