Three plane mirrors form an equilateral triangle with each side of length L. There is a small hole at a distance l>0 from one of the corners as shown in the figure. A ray of light is passed through the hole at an angle θ and can only come out through the same hole. The cross section of the mirror configuration and the ray of light lie on the same plane.

A flat mirror revolves at a constant angular velocity making n=0.4 revolutions per second. With what velocity (in m s-1) will a light spot move along a spherical screen with a radius of 15 m, if the mirror is at the centre of curvature of the screen?
EASY
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 θ, the spot of the light is found to move through a distance y on the scale. The angle θ is given by
