Principles of reflection apply in miniature golf, billiards, and bowling. Lenses for everything from cameras

to telescopes also involve reflections. Light always bounces off something at the same angle that it arrived. The

angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

EXAMPLE 1 A beam will be sent from satellite A to satellite B by being sent to the earth and reflected by a booster station to satellite B. The satellite engineers are trying to place the booster station in the spot where the total distance that the beam travels will be the shortest. If the booster station must be located somewhere along line h, what is the best location?

EXAMPLE 2 Figure 12.17 shows a miniature golf green. Notice that it would be impossible to putt a ball directly from the tee (T) to the hole (H). What spots should you aim for on sides 1 and 2 so that you will make a hole in one?
