Question
Four, 1.0m long plane mirrors are situated to form a box filled with air. A beam of light is
sent out from one corner directed at a 30.0° angle from the vertical, as shown below. The
beam of light then bounces around the interior of the box.
a. Calculate the distance between the point of origin and the point where the beam first
strikes wall I.

b. Calculate the total distance traveled by the beam between the point of origin and the
point where the beam first strikes wall I.
c. The lower half of the box is now filled with water (n = 1.33). Calculate the distance
from the bottom of the box where the beam fırst strikes wall III.
