A flat mirror revolves at a constant angular velocity making $$n=0.4$$ revolutions per second. With what velocity (in $$ms^{-1}$$ ) will a light spot move along a spherical screen with a radius of $$15$$ metres, if the mirror is at the centre of curvature of the screen?
Correct option is D. $$75.4$$
$$\because$$ Angular velocity of mirror = $$0.4rev/s$$
$$\Rightarrow 0.4\times 2\pi=0.8\pi\,rad/s$$
$$\because$$ Angular velocity of reflected ray
$$\Rightarrow 2\times 0.8\pi=1.6\pi\,rad/s$$
Hence, velocity of light spot over the screen
$$v=rw=15\times 1.6\pi=75.4m/s$$
