In an experiment designed to measure the speed of light, a laser is aimed at a mirror that is 57.0 km due north. A detector is placed 119 m dus east of the laser. The mirror is to be aligned so that light from the laser refelects into the defector. (a) When properiy aligred, what arde should the normal to the surface of the mirror make with due south? (b) Suppose the mirror is misaligrid, so that the actual argle beiwen the normal to the surface and due south is too large by 0.0020. By how many meters (due east) will the reflected ryy. miss the detector?
