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?

Question

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?, 37.7, 60.3, 68.7, 75.4

∵ Angular velocity of the mirror = 0.4 r e v s - 1 = 0.4 × 2 π = 0.8 π r a d s - 1 ∴ Angular velocity of the reflected ray = 2 × 0.8 π = 1.6 π ra d s - 1 Hence, the velocity of light spot over the screen v = r ω = 15 × 1.6 π = 75.4 m s - 1
