$A$ point source of light,$S$,is placed at a distance $L$ in front of the centre of a plane mirror of width $d$ which is hanging vertically on a wall. $A$ man walks in front of the mirror along a line parallel to the mirror,at a distance $2L$ as shown below. The distance over which the man can see the image of the light source in the mirror is:

  • A
    $d$
  • B
    $2d$
  • C
    $3d$
  • D
    $\frac{d}{2}$

$A$ ray of light making an angle $10^o$ with the horizontal is incident on a plane mirror making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. What should be the value of $\theta$ so that the reflected ray goes vertically upwards?

$A$ light ray is incident perpendicular to the plane of a mirror. The angle of reflection will be ......$^o$.

The reflecting surface of a plane mirror is vertical. $A$ particle is projected in a vertical plane which is also perpendicular to the mirror. The initial velocity of the particle is $10 \, m/s$ and the angle of projection is $60^\circ$ with the horizontal. The point of projection is at a distance $5 \, m$ from the mirror. The particle moves towards the mirror. Just before the particle touches the mirror,the velocity of approach of the particle and its image is ...... $m/s$.

$A$ 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

The coordinates of the image with respect to the origin $c$ will be
