(N/A) There are two main points about light:
$(i)$ It travels with enormous speed,and its presently accepted value in a vacuum is $c = 2.99792458 \times 10^{8} \ m/s$. For practical purposes,$c = 3 \times 10^{8} \ m/s$,which is the highest speed attainable in nature.
$(ii)$ Light travels in a straight line.

$A$ concave mirror is placed on a horizontal table with its axis directed vertically upwards. Let $O$ be the pole of the mirror and $C$ its centre of curvature. $A$ point object is placed at $C$. It has a real image,also located at $C$. If the mirror is now filled with water,the image will be

$A$ point source $S$ is placed at a distance of $15 \; cm$ from a converging lens of focal length $10 \; cm$. Where should a concave mirror of focal length $12 \; cm$ be placed so that a real image is formed on the object itself (in $; cm$)?

An optical arrangement consists of two concave mirrors $M_1$ and $M_2$,and a convex lens $L$ with a common principal axis,as shown in the figure. The focal length of $L$ is $10 \text{ cm}$. The radii of curvature of $M_1$ and $M_2$ are $20 \text{ cm}$ and $24 \text{ cm}$,respectively. The distance between $L$ and $M_2$ is $20 \text{ cm}$. $A$ point object $S$ is placed at the mid-point between $L$ and $M_2$ on the axis. When the distance between $L$ and $M_1$ is $n/7 \text{ cm}$,one of the images coincides with $S$. The value of $n$ is. . . .

In a grease spot photometer,light from a lamp with a dirty chimney is exactly balanced by a point source at a distance of $10 \, cm$ from the grease spot. On cleaning the chimney,the point source is moved by $2 \, cm$ to obtain balance again. The percentage of light absorbed by the dirty chimney is nearly......$\%$
