A light incident normally on a plane mirror attached to a galvanometer coil retraces backward as shown in the figure. A current in the coil produces a deflection of \(3.5^\circ\) of the mirror. What is the displacement of the reflected spot of light on a screen placed \(1.5~\text m\) away?
(given \(\tan (7)^\circ =0.1228\))

   

1. \(15.0~\text{cm}\)
2. \(18.4~\text{cm}\)
3. \(21.2~\text{cm}\)
4. \(12.5~\text{cm}\)
