Billy is trying to shine a laser off a mirror at the end of a basketball court into Sam's eyes to distract him (Billy is evil). Sam is at a 38 degree reflection angle from the mirror. At what angle does Billy need to shine the laser at the mirror to get it in Sam's eyes.

In this case, we have a mirror (we assume that it is plane) and we know that we need to have an angle of reflection equal to 38° in order to reach Sam.

Then the angle of incidence of the ray must also be exactly 38°.

Then Billy needs to shine his laser at an angle of 38° at the mirror.

(where the angle is measured between the normal line to the surface of the mirror and the incident ray)

Billy needs to shine the laser at an incident angle of 38 degrees.

LASER is an acronym that stands for “light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation.” We know that according to the laws of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

As such, knowing that Sam is at a 38 degree reflection angle from the mirror, Billy needs to shine the laser at an incident angle of 38 degrees.
