A beam of light strikes $\overline{BC}$ at point $C$ with angle of incidence $\alpha=19.94^\circ$ and reflects with an equal angle of reflection as shown. The light beam continues its path, reflecting off line segments $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{BC}$ according to the rule: angle of incidence equals angle of reflection.

A certain Oxford professor, assigned to espionage cryptography services British, role played by Dirk Bogarde in a film, recruits his proposing small attention exercises, such as mentally reading a word the other way around. Frequently he does it with his own name: $SEBASTIAN$, what will there be to read $NAITSABES$. He wonders if there is any movement of the plane or of space that transforms one of these words in the other, just as they appear written. And if it had been called $AVITO$, like a certain Unamuno character? Give a reasoned explanation for each answer.
