Question: If you were to theoretically shine a laser into the intersection of two mirrors, what would happen to the reflected beam? When I say 'theoretically' I mean that the beam would hit the corner perfectly.
I'm confused by this because the derivative of a sharp point on a graph is undefined, so it would seem that there would be no real reflective surface angle off of which the beam could reflect.
Also, treat the laser as if it has zero width (essentially, treat it as a line).
This is not a homework question - it's just something I thought up.
~IKnowN0thingEDIT: I thought that this would fit better over in the logic section, so I re-posted it there.
