Question

The task now is to develop a function that calculates the height of the beam above the horizontal to produce a desired angle.
Your solution should be justified mathematically, including the reasonableness of your results.
Use your solution to calculate the appropriate heights for reflecting angles 16°, 32°, and 48°.
ITEM 6 [M&P 13]
Refine the model to develop a function for height, as a function of the reflecting angle a E R+ for any given focal value, a.
Test your model with an example and construct a correctly scaled diagram on Autograph to illustrate and verify your result.

Ans. 1 
As shown in the diagram, there is beam directing toward an object and reflecting the 
same,  
Let height is h , and the given base is 5a  , 
According to the property of light the angle of reflection will be equal to the incident 
angle. 
1. So for the reflection of the 020  angle from the ground the beam should be 
incident on 010   can reflect by the same. 
2. So,

The task now is to develop a function that calculates the height of the beam above the horizontal to produce a desired angle. Your solution should be justified mathematically, including the...
