QUESTION:
A partially silvered mirror covers the square area with vertices at (1, 1). The fraction of incident light which it reflects at (x, y) is (xy) 2/4. Assuming a uniform intensity of incident light, find the fraction reflected.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
The total fraction of the reflected light is the integral of the "reflection fraction function" over the square:
