20. In the mid-19th century, French physicist Foucault made the most accurate measurement of the speed of
light using a laboratory-sized apparatus consisting of rotating and fixed mirrors. Consider a source of
light emitting a beam which bounces off a rotating mirror and then reflects off a small fixed mirror. By
the time it reaches back to the rotating mirror, the mirror has rotated by a small angle. This rotation will
deflect the beam through a small angle 30 minute of an arc from its original path. If the mirror rotates
with a frequency f ( (5/3) x 104 Hz ) and the speed of light is given as 3 × 108 m/sec , the value of D
