A rolling ball that does not have much spin will bounce off a wall so thatthe two angles that the path forms with the wall are congruent. Thus, toroll the ball from B off the wall shown and into hole //, you need to aimthe ball so that L\ = Z.2.a. Let //' be the image of// by reflection in the wall.BH' intersects the wall at P. Why is L. 1 = Z.3?Why is L 3 = L 2? Why is L 1 = L 2? You canconclude that if you aim for //', the ball will rollto H.b. Show that the distance traveled by the ball equalsthe distance BH'
