Laser beam incident on a plane mirror rotated by an angle \(\theta\).
Laser beam incident on a plane mirror rotated by an angle \(\theta\).
A stationary laser beam strikes a flat plane mirror at an initial angle of incidence \(\theta_0\). The mirror is then rotated by an angle \(\theta\) about an axis lying in the plane of the mirror and perpendicular to the plane of incidence, increasing the angle of incidence. What is the angle through which the reflected laser beam rotates?
