211. A beam of light from a source $$L$$ is incident normally on a plane mirror fixed at a certain distance $$x$$ from the source. The beam is reflected back as a spot on a scale placed just above the source $$L.$$ When the mirror is rotated through a small angle $$\theta ,$$ the spot of the light is found to move through a distance $$y$$ on the scale. The angle $$\theta $$ is given by

A $$\frac{y}{{2x}}$$
B $$\frac{y}{x}$$
C $$\frac{x}{{2y}}$$
D $$\frac{x}{y}$$
Answer :   $$\frac{y}{{2x}}$$
