Problem

Two parallel plane mirrors are separated by 0.50 m0.50\,\text{m}. A light ray enters the space between them and strikes the lower mirror at an angle of incidence of 15∘15^{\circ} relative to the normal. Calculate the horizontal distance along the mirror between this first point of reflection and the point where the ray next reflects from the upper mirror.
