  1. Answer:

    θ=3.5°

    ,D=1.5m

    Reflected rays get deflected by an amount twice the angle of deflection, i.e., 2θ=7°

    d is the displacement of reflected spot of light on screen.

    tan2θ=d/1.5⇒d=18.4cm

  2. The displacement (d) of the reflected spot of light on the screen is given as: Hence, the displacement of the reflected spot of light is 18.4 cm.
