In the Cartesian plane, a perfectly reflective semicircular room is bounded by the upper half of the unit circle centered at (0,0)(0,0) and the line segment from (−1,0)(-1,0) to (1,0)(1,0). David stands at the point (−1,0)(-1,0) and shines a flashlight into the room at an angle of 46∘46^{\circ} above the horizontal. How many times does the light beam reflect off the walls before coming back to David at (−1,0)(-1,0) for the first time?
